The Aix-Marseille metropolis will not be subject to re-containment on weekends, according to government sources. The Var would not also be affected by confinement. Prime Minister Jean Castex must do announcements at 6 p.m. this Thursday evening. Pas-de-Calais would be the only department reconfigured on weekends. No department in the Ile-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur (PACA) regions will undergo local containment on Saturday and Sunday.
Last Thursday, twenty departments including Bouches-du-Rhône and Var, were under “reinforced surveillance” because of the health situation and the strong circulation of the virus, in particular variants.
