On Tuesday, Health officials in France activated an emergency plan on the Mediterranean island of Corsica as a fourth wave of covid infection spread across the country.
The government also announced it was reactivating a package of measures designed to support medical staff as they brace for a fresh intake of cases.
More of France’s popular coastal areas, meanwhile, reintroduced the compulsory wearing of masks in a bid to stem the incoming coronavirus tide.
The news came a day after Guadalupe became the third of France’s overseas territories to announce a return to partial lockdown because of a “Catastrophic” surge in Covid cases there.
