World News – GB – Macron prepares France for second lockout

President Macron is expected to impose another national lockdown on France tonight in an attempt to block a second wave of Covid-19 infections, which the government has deemed uncontrollable

Ahead of a televised speech, the French leader will meet with advisers today to work out the details of what is expected to be a slightly softer version of the spring lockdown, which was one of the toughest in Europe

After an increase in new infections to over 50,000 cases per day and an acceleration in the infection rate, Mr. Macron reportedly reversed his earlier opinion that a return to national lockdown would be ‘unthinkable’ due to the social damage it would cause
