A decree was taken on March 20 to impose a curfew in Nice starting at 8 p.m., Christian Estrosi told the JDD. "From 8 p.m. onwards, once the shops and pharmacies are closed, nobody has any reason to go out. Therefore, we no longer go out, except for the personnel specifically authorized by this decree: medical personnel, or social personnel for those who make home visits to fragile people to take meals for example," explained Estrosi. Lighting in the city will also be reduced, added Estrosi, who, as a reminder, is affected by Covid-19 and remains confined to his home.
