Monday May 4: No change since yesterday. As for the active circulation of the virus, Ardèche moves from orange to green and as for hospital issues, Sarthe goes from green to orange. We are still waiting for the third criterium that is the capacity to perform tests in each department.
Sunday May 3: The situation gradually evolves in France. 10 new departments are green, while no new "red area" case has appeared.
Saturday May 2: 6 new departments in South-East and especially in Southern PACA region go green. Indeed, on Saturday May 2, 2020, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse have joined the other 42 departments now in green area. All in all, 42 departments are green, 22 orange and 32 still in red.
Friday May 1, 2020: 6 departments changed color this Friday May 1st, 2020, especially to correct mistakes that were made on the first map, like in Lot. The new map now includes 32 departments in red (instead of 35 Thursday), 28 orange (instead of 30) and 41 green (instead of 36). Departments of Lot and Haute-Corse have moved from red to green, after mistakes in data collection. Tarn moved from orange to green, so did Dordogne.
Thursday April 30, 2020: the first and awaited map shows 35 departments in "red" area. No surprise, these departments in red are mainly set in Hauts-de-France, Grand Est and Île-de-France. Almost no departments are in green (36) and about thirty departments are orange, ready to move from one side to another when the map will be set on May 7th.
Edouard Philippe announced it this Tuesday at the Assembly when presenting his deconfinement plan: “all territories have not been affected the same way. It is then logic that, being extremely cautious, we propose a deconfinement framework fitted to local realities in France and overseas”.
3 criteria will enable to determine the color of flags and stricter measures to implement:
Based on these data presented every night, the government will be able to tell on May 7 what departments will have a red or green flag on May 11. Jérôme Salomon will present a detailed map per department.
“This map will guide every department to prepare to phase out on May 11, reminding the goal of a stricter confinement to stop the virus, but also the need to reset the hospital system and set up effective systems of tests and detection of contact cases” the Prime Minister said.
In concrete words, what does it mean to bee in green or red zone? The color will determine if schools can open on one hand, but also, on the other hands if shopping malls, parks and gardens can too.
