PARIS, June 16
France is bringing forward by 10 days the lifting of a nationwide curfew that has been in place since late 2020 as daily Covid infections are falling faster than anticipated, Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Wednesday.
He said the night curfew would now end from June 20, and that face masks would soon no longer be required outdoors. After restaurants, bars and cafes were allowed last week to reopen indoors for the first time in seven months, Castex said life in France was at last starting to return to normal. "We're on the right track - let's keep up our efforts," Castex said. — Reuters
