Yesterday, Edouard Philippe, the prime minister, announced that as of last night at midnight, bars, restaurants, and any non-essential places of business that are open to the public have been closed by the government.
Businesses that aren't open to the public can remain open but the government strongly encourages remote work.
Parents who can't work remotely and who have children under 16 can submit a form to stay home with their kids and be on paid leave from work.
People still don't seem to be taking it seriously - tons of people were out enjoying the nice weather in Parisian parks today, for example - so we won't be surprised to see stronger lockdown measures come out soon.
