Between Monday 3 February 2020 and Sunday 18 April 2021, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people was 6,740 for the EU-27 as a whole; in France, it was 8,157. The total number of deaths per 100,000 people was 151 for both the EU-27 and France. The health crisis provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic has had a very strong impact in France, as it has in other countries, to the point where, for the first time ever, public authorities implemented an almost total lockdown of the country, its population and activities from 17 March to 20 May 2020. A second lockdown was implemented between 30 October and 15 December 2020, immediately followed by a curfew between 8pm and 6am, rapidly extended to 6pm-8am. President Macron decided to extend measures to curb the pandemic and, in particular, to close schools during 5-26 April 2021. Since then, schools have reopened progressively. The curfew was relaxed to 9pm on 3 May 2021 and to 11pm on 9 June 2021. Any form of curfew will stop on 30 June 2021.
