11:09 am: Long distance transport will be “gradually reduced”, confirms Elisabeth Borne
As France has moved into stage 3, “everyone must give up non-essential travel,” said Minister for the Ecological Transition, Elisabeth Borne, who is asking for more civility in the application of these measures.
“The rule is now to limit travel as much as possible to slow the spread of the virus. At this stage, it is a question of maintaining public transport in agglomeration to allow the French to carry out the strictly necessary displacements. Regarding longer distance transport, between cities, by trains, coaches or planes, these will be gradually reduced, “she insisted.
