Alpes Maritimes and Var classified as “green” - The Alpes-Maritimes and the Var region along with the rest of the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur has been classified as a “green” region. The map of France is designed to be an indicator of not only the circulation of the virus but also the measures to be taken at the end of the lockdown which is planned for May 11th.

Those classified orange are in between the two and will switch to either red or green by the 7th May, which is when the map will be declared definite, ahead of end of the lockdown.
The Alpes Maritime and the Var had previously been classified orange and changed to green on Saturday 2nd May and remaining green on Sunday 3rd. The map is updated on a daily basis.
