Covid: Jean Castex's statements - Thursday March 4, 2021
A new press brief has been held this Thursday March 4, 2021 at 6 p.m.: Jean Castex and his government presented the latest measures and governmental decisions as for the health crisis. 3 departments, namely Hautes-Alpes, Aisne, and Aube, are placed under strengthened surveillance. Furthermore, the weekend lockdown solution is extended - starting Friday March 5 - to Pas-de-Calais.

Incidence rate in France as of March 4, 2021
Jean Castex announced nationwide curfew from 6 p.m. for at least two weeks. The incidence rate by department remains an indicator to monitor very closely to know more about the evolution of the epidemic. As a matter of fact, even though departments exceeding the threshold of 200 positive cases for 100,000 inhabitants were first to make new measures to fight against the spread of the epidemic, including implementing extended curfew, brought forward to 6 p.m., the entire country now has to comply with the measure until the situation improves. Here are the incidence rates in each department as of Thursday March 4, 2021.
