PARIS: France reported 7,379 new confirmed coronavirus cases on Friday , the most since lockdown, in what the health ministry described as an exponential surge just days before millions of children are due to return to school for the first time since March.
"We're doing everything to avoid another lockdown, and in particular a nationwide lockdown," President Emmanuel Macron told journalists earlier on Friday. He added it would be dangerous to rule out any scenario. The authorities are now searching for ways to limit the spread of the disease without a new lockdown. On Friday, Parisians were ordered to wear masks at all times outdoors in the capital.
Authorities say the virus is now spreading among younger people who are less likely to show severe symptoms.
