4. Here's what they're doing in France

Reported by a friend via Facebook

Starting at noon today here in France we are all confined to our homes, except to buy food, go to the pharmacy, see the doctor, go to work (if work from home is not possible) or get exercise (alone or with one other person from same home). Anyone leaving home must print out (or hand write) a dated note including name, address and the reason for being out. If we go out, we must stay close to home and far from others (at least one meter while standing in line, for example). Anyone coughing or with fever should not go out at all. Starting tomorrow failure to follow the rules can result in an up to a 135€ fine. The president announced these new measures because many people were not taking previous social distance recommendations seriously.
