In France, the number of Covid-19 cases is growing rapidly, with the most contagious form of Covid-19 omicron spreading rapidly.
The seven-day incidence of Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people has risen to 565, prompting some countries to classify France as a high-risk area.
The French government wants to introduce new restrictions on restaurants and cultural institutions, where people currently have to prove vaccination, illness or a negative test at the entrance.
The government plans to propose a law in a special session on Monday that will make the negative Covid-19 test insufficient for admission to restaurants and cultural facilities. The law is expected to be adopted in mid-January.
