Today we have a press conference by French PM Jean Castex and Health Minister Olivier Véran to explain curfew announced last evening by President Emmanuel Macron.

The 9pm-6am curfew is due to come into effect Saturday morning (from midnight) and last at least 4 weeks.
It could be extended to 1 December. I will try to give an account of this press conference. As usual, please forgive errors and clumsy translation.
Jean Castex says he's going to give details of new rules for Covid-19 crisis. Saturday France enters state of "health emergency" which will last for 4 weeks or longer if parliament decides. Comes from worsening of "viral situation" over last 10 days.

Tonight's Covid-19 figures from France. This evening President Emmanuel Macron announced a 9pm-6am curfew in the Paris region + Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Rouen, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse. This will start 17/10 and last minimum 4 weeks. Image
Aim is to reduce number of new confirmed cases in any 24 hour period to <5,000. It is currently >20,000. Essential workers exempt, so I think we are seeing the return of the sworn declaration.
Gatherings at home should be max. 6 people and masks work if distancing impossible.
The whole of France will enter new "state of health emergency" from 17/10
Home-working encouraged where possible.
People can go on holiday (school half term begins this weekend).
Distancing + masks on public transport (this isn't happening).

Santé Publique France has just sent its weekly press release with the detailed data for week 39 (21-27 September).
The preamble says the epidemic is progressing, but the figures need to be interpreted "with care". It says the French have been good at wearing masks but...
...have dropped their guard "with regard to social interactions".
New hospital admissions rose +15% and new ic admissions 31%. There were 436 deaths attributed to Covid-19 in hospitals/care homes, +31% on the previous week. This brings the total number of deaths to 31,893. Image
This is a 42-page document so I won't post it all!

In week 39 a total of 924,687 people were tested for Covid-19 using the PCR nasal test. 70,458 of these tests were positive a drop of -5% on the previous week. The % of positive tests rose from 6.4% in W38 to 7.6% in W39.

Health minister Olivier Véran at weekly press conference says IF Covid-19 situation in Paris doesn't improve over weekend the city could be placed on "maximum alert" and all bars and restaurants ordered to close as of Monday.
"We have to anticipate this possibility", Véran said.
The R-rate of contamination is 1.3, ie for every 10 people who are contaminated, they contaminate 13 (compare this with height of epidemic when the rate was 10 people contaminating 30 people) Véran says.
The Minister of Health points out that few French territories have escaped the the rapid circulation of the virus. Major cities are on heightened alert. Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Grenoble are on high alert.
