The lockdown announcement made on March 31, 2021 covered a four-week period. The date of May 2, 2021 therefore sticks to the expected schedule of a reduction in measures. They would start with the end of the exit certificate. The reopening schedule would be held according to the main lines mentioned on April 16 by Gabriel Attal.

The curfew should be maintained, only its time could vary, with a little more freedom. The calendar of the next stages of opening (sports halls, nightclubs, festivals etc …) also remains to be specified. These measures could be territorialized to best stick to the local epidemiological situation. For their part, caregivers continue to warn about the importance of limiting contact as much as possible, in view of constant hospital pressure.
