During his weekly update on the health situation in France, this Thursday, October 8, he announced new health measures in certain French cities. Lille, Lyon, Saint-Étienne and Grenoble will also enter the "high alert zone" starting this Saturday, October 10. The Health Minister also noted that Dijon and Clermond-Ferrand will move to enhanced alert zones on the same date. In other European countries, restrictions are also increasing.
