The curfew for Ipar Euskal Herria will end on June 2
- The confinement, limited to 10 kilometres, will last until 3 May. The decontainment will be carried out "progressively" and "in phases", and the French President, Emmanuel Macron, will announce the different steps on April 30.
The COVID-19 epidemic in the French State is continuing rapidly – 31,500 new infections in the last 24 hours and even more than 2,700 people in the Intensive Care Units and incidence rate 301,6 – but it seems that the French Government has decided to join the decontainment: by 3 May it has established the end of the ten-kilometre confinement; as of 2 June no more permits will be obtained for eviction.
President Emmanuel Macron will give all the details on 30 April, but, as in any case, thanks to the mainstream media, the citizens have gathered all the details. Decontainment will be carried out "progressively" and "in phases", as Prime Minister Jean Castex specified in a statement. Starting on May 3, they will also start opening some of the sports, cultural and commercial centres that have existed so far, but also "step by step", for example, only restaurants are allowed terraces.
The measures taken will serve the entire territory, but may take further local measures, if necessary, to limit the spread of the virus.
Yesterday, 28 April, the Council of Ministers of France presented a bill to leave the state of emergency. The emergency situation continued until 1 June, after the suspension was decreed on 2 February. On that day the state of health alarm will be closed, but the Government will retain until 31 October the power to adopt restrictive measures, both as regards the movement of persons and the intestine of shops.
As regards Ipar Euskal Herria, data
In the case of the Northern Basque Country, the incidence rate is 98.2. In the French State, in general, it is 301.6, which is much higher than in the French Basque Country. Until now, the departments with this reference above 50 were classified as "red areas" and were required to take tougher measures... But it seems that we are now also on the verge of channeling decontainment at an incidence rate of 301.6. One of the safest reasons will be the vaccination campaign: currently, more than 14,500,000 people have received the first vaccination – one person in five – and 5,800,000 are the second vaccinations. And of course, summer comes with its tourism, and that's also among the reasons -- at least last year it was like this.
