Almost back to normal - President Macron addressed the French Nation on June 14th

From today June 15th, France will be completely "green" except Mayotte and Guyane.

This means :
  • Traveling : 
    • From today : it will be possible to travel within the EU
    • From July 1st : Outside the EU in the countries where the virus is under control.
  • Schools : 
    • Crèches, primary schools and colleges : from June 22nd, it will be mandatory for all children to go to school again.
    • Lycées and University : back to school in September.
  • Bars and Restaurants are allowed to reopen
  • We should avoid, as much as possible the gatherings as it is principally in these occasions, that the virus is spreading. The President said rules will be maintained, but did not mention any further details.
As the virus is still there, we will have to live with it for quite a long time, keeping physical distances for example or wearing masks.
We will have to watch out the evolution of the pandemic in case it comes back. 
We have turned the page of the crisis'1st act.
