Extension of the obligation of wearing a mask to the outside and prohibition of gatherings of more than 5,000 people extended until 30 October : Jean Castex has hardened the tone, Tuesday, in the face of an " epidemiological situation (who) is moving in the wrong direction ".
"I say it with a form of seriousness : if we don't act collectively, we are exposed to a high risk of reversal of the epidemic that will be difficult to control," said the head of government during a trip to the CHU of Montpellier.
