France back in national lockdown
By EUobserver
French president Emmanuel Macron ordered the country back into lockdown on Wednesday, as a massive second wave of coronavirus infections threatened to overwhelm Europe before the winter, the Guardian writes. "Overrun by a second wave which we know will be harder, more deadly than the first," Macron said in a TV address, "I have decided that we need to return to the lockdown which stopped the virus".
