France has declared the Boches du Rone, where the capital Paris and Marseille are located, a red zone due to the re-emergence of the coronavirus.
The decision authorizes local governments to impose restrictions on human and automobile traffic, public and air transport, and to close government buildings and shops with a high risk of infection, Gadin.Net reported citing publika.az.
In France, the categories of regions are assessed by criteria such as the rate of spread of the virus within the region, the level of occupancy of hospitals and the testing capacity of health facilities.
