French President Emmanuel Macron - During a videoconference on Friday morning French President Emmanuel Macron has highlighted the evolution of the coronavirus pandemic in the world, emphasising the fact that the virus has not affected countries at the same time. Which has led to considering possible measures to limit cross border travel in the Schengen area until September, due to the global coronavirus crisis?
The French president had announced that the countries of the Schengen zone were thinking of leaving the borders of space closed at least until September.
Emmanuel Macron notably cited the example of the United States, where the coronavirus crisis is delayed by several weeks and which will therefore reach its peak later. But also that of Africa, where the situation is developing differently. In Asia, a second peak may occur.
The French president stressed that people who thought they could go abroad were going to be in trouble. A remark that comes close to the recommendations of the Minister of Ecological Transition Elisabeth Borne who on wednesday said that "Today is not the time to buy a ticket to go to the other side of the planet with all the uncertainties that we can have about what will be the state of the epidemic" in France and around the world.
This closing of the borders could also have an impact on the economic recovery, implied the head of state. The head of state is to give a presidential address on Monday evening.
