France stays adamant that they will not return to a mass lockdown

As is the case for most of Europe, despite the number of virus cases surging in recent weeks. Given how devastating the lockdown in March and April has been to the economy, there’s very little likelihood we will see a repeat of that again.

Germany’s Merkel also sent a similar message earlier today here.
