Although capital and northeastern areas of the country would be in heavy lockdown, France would resume its shops, small businesses and schools will also return to restore the economic and academic wheel on Monday.
According to the data, the nation has seen 26,000 deaths, with 174,791 confirmed cases in the country and the rescued number of people stands at 55,027. However, after observing the worst situation, the arrival of new cases has been observed to decline in recent times.
