As France's daily tallies of new coronavirus cases rise, some doctors and nurses are being asked to work despite testing positive themselves. France imposed a night-time curfew on major cities, including Paris, two weeks ago running from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., but the COVID-19 figures have continued to worsen. Official data on Tuesday 27th showed that France had reported 523 new deaths from COVID-19 over the past 24 hours, and 33,417 new confirmed COVID cases. French President Emmanuel Macron will address to nation on 28th evening, maybe to announce a new national lockdown.
