- Although on 13 April it was determined that the confinement should continue for those over 65 to 70 years of age, it will not finally be so. Macron has had to take the floor to calm down the effects of the complaint that had taken over the measures.
They shall not be forced, but hastily advised: French State President Emmanuel Macron has asked the elderly to "behave responsibly". Therefore, there will not be the extension of the confinement for the elderly as specified in the speech of 13 April.
Macron has been forced to withdraw his complaints. In this regard, he pointed out that "this is not a question of age discrimination".
The interview conducted on 12 April by Jean-François Delfraissy, president of the French Scientific Conference COVID-19, to the Italian newspaper La Republicca, ended with indignation and misunderstanding. Specifically, for those over 65-70 years of age, he reported on the prolongation of the confinement and "until a preventive remedy is detected".
As for the coronavirus, Macron made his fourth public speech at 20:02 on April 13. He reported that the lockdown would last until May 11 and that the lockdown would be "progressively". However, there was a lack of detail, as there had been very little detail in this progressive aspect.
