BBC announces 21:00-06:00 curfews in Paris and 8 other cities.
We’ve been listening for the last hour., actually 45 minutes. Pretty soon we'll be eating dinner at 5 in restaurants. His emphasis is everyone acting for the good of the whole.
Actually there’s an add on TV in France right now showing a family celebrating a youngish grandma’s birthday, including a kiss from granddaughter. Next scene, the beautiful granny is in ICU. Message received. The All Saints vacation is coming up when a lot of inter generational families get together.
Just for anyone curious, the cities:
Paris (and all of Ile de France)
Lille
Lyon
Aix-Marseille
Grenoble
Rouen
St Etienne
Montpellier
Toulouse
The curfew starts Saturday for four weeks (to start).
A little more information from the ministers’ briefing today.
Exceptions will be allowed (if the person is carrying a famous attestation) in these cases:
- For medical reasons — for example, to go to the emergency room or pick up urgently needed medicine at the all-night pharmacy
- For professional reasons if required by work
- If you have e.g. a train or plane that arrives/departs, you can still travel between station/airport and your residence/lodging
- To care for a loved one who is dependent on you
- To walk your dog
So we are back to our beloved permission slips if one needs to be out (in the designated cities) during curfew hours !
Is it just me or is it like the movie Casablanca?
