New lockdown in France

The new lockdown in France started at midnight today. Under the new lockdown, everyone should basically stay at home. Only with written proof the French can go out.

People are allowed to work out close to home for an hour every day. French people who live near a park are lucky this time because they stay open. Unlike the previous lockdown, the schools remain open but children from the age of 6 have to wear a mask in the lessons.

French people rushed to do last-stop shopping on Thursday. That caused a lot of buzz in the shops. Pasta and toilet paper were popular groceries, as were ink for printers and electronics to work from home.
