France had earlier declared a health emergency in March. It was withdrawn on 10th July. Restrictions were relaxed in France after the coronavirus infection subsided. Private banquets and events were also organised. A state of emergency has been declared again after it was discovered that the coronavirus infection was spreading. Concerns are being raised in France as the number of coronavirus cases exceeded 20,000 continuously for the sixth day in a row. Corona has killed 32,000 people in France so far.
