PARIS/ROME - France and its neighbours are grappling with a pickup in infections as people travel for vacations and attend summer gatherings.
In France, President Emmanuel Macron said this week that the damage from another national lockdown would be too high, and the country will have to rely on targeted local restrictions. In Italy, the intensity and duration of its lockdown is widely seen as one of the reasons why cases did not pick up quickly after curbs started to be gradually lifted in early May, but rather kept falling.
The relative success was due to"the strict lockdown, the use of masks and the increasing testing until July", said University of Milano-Bicocca virologist Francesco Broccolo."Italians are now used to being more careful and there could be fewer people susceptible to the infection because of an immunity."
