France announces Two-Week lockdown

France on Monday took the drastic step of ordering a 15-day lockdown for the entire country, barring residents from leaving their homes for anything other than essential duties as the country scrambles to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Starting at noon on Tuesday, residents will be allowed out of their homes only for necessary trips, and no family or social gatherings will be allowed. Those who flout the rules will face punishment.
