France has ordered nightclubs and discotheques to close for one month beginning Dec. 10 to stem a surge in coronavirus cases, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced Monday.
The decision will impact around 1,200 such establishments which had only reopened in July this year.
Following a high-level Health Defense Council meeting, Castex in a national address declared that an “exception” was made for the nightclubs and discos to close as they are majorly visited by young people.
“The virus circulates a lot among young people, even the vaccinated,” he said.
