The country is presently reporting more than 350 new cases per 100, 000people each week and almost 18 percent of its tests results are positive.
French president Macron says about 400,000 people will lose their lives if immediate action is not taken and lockdown will be eased when the number of new cases falls to 5000 per day. The second lockdown of France comes just after Germany introduced new measures to battle against the pandemic.
