PARIS: French Prime Minister Jean Castex confirmed on Thursday that domestic travel restrictions will be lifted on May 3 and that secondary schools will reopen that same day, the first steps toward the country exiting its new COVID-19 lockdown.
He also said some businesses, including restaurants and cultural venues might reopen around mid-May as the COVID-19 situation is improving, three weeks after France entered the one-month lockdown, its third to stop the spread of the virus. "The third wave of the disease is behind us," Castex told a news conference, adding that France's vaccination campaign was going well and that 20 million people will have had a first shot by mid-May.
