At the height of the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus, which is causing hospital congestion, Emmanuel Macron announced an unprecedented confinement in France on March 17, 2020, extended several times until May 3, 2020. Schools, restaurants, meeting rooms Sports meetings and other establishments open to the public are closed. While the country is almost paralyzed, measures such as partial unemployment are being taken to avoid bankruptcies and layoffs. A renewed recognition affects the professions essential for the functioning of society and the health personnel, on the “front line”, applauded at the windows at 8:00 p.m. Other restrictions are imposed to limit the spread of the virus (limitation of travel, mandatory use of masks), but in the fall a second epidemic wave of Covid-19 begins and a new containment is decreed as of October 30, 2020. After curfew on December 15, 2020, a strict recontainment at the local level is not excluded to deal with the more contagious variants of the coronavirus. The level of “social acceptance” of such a measure is being examined by the Government, after having noted “a phenomenon of fatigue” among the French. So all hopes are focused on vaccines.
