When France is deconfining

Successful bet for President Macron? The indicators are promising for the moment. France, like many other European countries, started its progressive deconfinement last month given the acceleration of vaccination and the decrease of Covid-19 cases (11% of the peak of contaminations to date).
An important step in this gradual “liberation” was the reopening of cinemas, theaters, restaurants, bars and bistros, symbols of the French art of living.
With the curfew shifted to 11pm, the arrival of summer helped, the terraces were taken by storm by French people eager to find themselves.
Employees who have been teleworking for the past few months can also come back to the office two to three days a week, in compliance with the latest official health protocol that companies have to apply since June 9th.
A foretaste of the long-awaited summer vacations, despite the vigilance still in force.
