THE FULL SPEECH FO THE PRESIDENT MACRON ADDRESSED ON PRIME TIME PART1--------------------------------
"French, Thursday evening, I spoke to you to discuss the health crisis in our country. Until then, the epidemic was perhaps for some a distant idea, it became an immediate, pressing reality. The Government has taken, as I told you, firm measures to curb the spread of the virus. Nurseries, schools, colleges, high schools, universities have been closed since that day. On Saturday evening, the restaurants and all the businesses not essential to the life of the Nation also closed their doors. Gatherings of more than 100 people have been banned. France had never had to take such decisions - obviously exceptional, obviously temporary - in times of Peace. They were taken with order, preparation, on the basis of scientific recommendations with a single objective: to protect us against the spread of the virus. "Introduced the context of the new containment measures announced after the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron .
REPUBLICAN CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CANDIDATES ELECTED IN THE 1ST ROUND OF THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
« The President, Macron explained his decision, following the advice and approval of the scientific committee chaired by Professor Defrayssil (which has been controversial since this morning in France) to maintain the 1st round of the municipal elections which consequently took place yesterday Sunday March 15, 2020 , in 35,000 municipalities in France. "During the day on Thursday, a scientific and political consensus was formed to maintain the first round of the municipal elections and I took, with the Prime Minister, the decision to maintain the poll. Voting operations were therefore able to take place yesterday Sunday. Tonight I want to thank the state services, the mayors, all of the town hall departments, all those who held the polling stations and who therefore made it possible to organize this poll. I also want to warmly greet the French women and men, who, despite the context, went to the polls, in strict compliance with health instructions, gestures against the virus. I also want to send my Republican congratulations this evening to the candidates elected in the first round. About 30,000 out of 35,000 municipalities have a municipal council after this first round. » President Macron-----------------------------------------------------
He then added « But at the same time, even as the resuscitation staff alerted to the seriousness of the situation, we also saw people gather in parks, crowded markets, restaurants, bars that did not respected the closing instruction. As if, basically, life had not changed. To all those who, adopting these behaviors, have defied the instructions, I want to say this evening very clearly: not only do you not protect yourself - and recent developments have shown that no one is invulnerable including the youngest - but you don't protect others. Even if you have no symptoms, you can still spread the virus. Even if you have no symptoms, you may infect your friends, parents, grandparents, and endanger the health of your loved ones. » acknowledged President Macron.
DEPLOYMENT OF A MILITARY HOSPITAL IN THE GREAT EAST OF FRANCE-----------------------------------------------
President Macron also announced the deployment of a military hospital with 30 beds, (at least) and including nurses, doctors at least, which will be installed tomorrow. This hospital will be run by two staff headquarters. The French head of state has repeatedly mentioned the very evocative and serious term of "We are at war (Sanitary)" In the Great East, in Hauts-de-France, in ÃŽle-de-France, our caregivers fight to save lives, with dedication, with strength. At a time when the health situation is deteriorating sharply, when the pressure on our hospitals and our caregivers is increasing, all our commitment, all our energy, all our strength, must focus on one goal: to slow the progression of the virus. I will say it again with force this evening: let us respect the barrier gestures, the sanitary instructions. This is the only way to protect the vulnerable, to have fewer infected citizens and thus reduce the pressure on the intensive care units so that they can better receive and provide better care.
Without serious signs, let us contact our attending physician. Let's not call the SAMU and only go to the hospital in case of high fever, difficulty breathing, otherwise they will not be able to cope with the wave of serious cases which is already looming in certain regions.
