French President Emmanuel Macron has announced harsh restrictions on freedom of movement in a bid to counter the new coronavirus, as the European Union closed its external borders to foreign travellers.
In a televised public address, Macron said that from midday Tuesday, and for at least 15 days, people in France would only be allowed to leave their homes for necessary activities such as shopping for food or going to work.
He said gatherings of families and friends were banned, though people could take exercise, provided they kept their distance from each other.
He said he was acting because people had not respected previous urgings for social distancing.
“We saw people gather in parks, crowded markets, restaurants and bars who did not follow the instructions … not only are you not protecting yourself but you are not protecting others,” he told the French people.
“We are at war,” Macron said repeatedly in his address.
