It had already been known for a few days that the confinement would be extended beyond April 30. It remained to be seen whether, as has been the case since the start of the health crisis, the government would continue to extend from 30 days to 31 days or not. The answer came on Monday: « The state of health emergency, declared by decree N ° 2020-93 of March 30, 2020 referred to above, is extended, throughout the national territory, from April 21, 2020, for a period of twenty days « . It is, during this period, the only way to act effectively against the Covid-19.
