PARIS, March 31, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – French President Emmanuel Macron will make a prime-time television address on Wednesday evening as the country awaits a government decision on new measures to halt a coronavirus spread, his office said Wednesday.
Macron has drawn fire from opposition parties and some medical experts for refusing to impose a nationwide lockdown sooner, with many now expecting that schools will have to be closed in the hardest-hit regions to stem the outbreak.
