the French meet at 8 p.m. at their windows to applaud the caregivers

The watchword had been given on social networks during the day and relayed by several deputies.

“Well done, the caregivers.” Like their Spanish or Italian neighbors in recent days, the French applauded Tuesday evening March 18, from their apartments where they are confined, the medical staff on the front line against the epidemic of coronovirus.

The watchword had been given on social networks during the day and relayed by several deputies: “Everyone at their window, skylight or balcony at 8 p.m. to applaud the hospital staff. Every evening at 8 p.m. sharp. Pass the message on to your neighbors. We will only be a few at first, but little by little, it will spread.”

In the streets of Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Ajaccio, the clamor was heard at 7 p.m. then again at 8 p.m.

“A huge thank you for this support! #OnApplaudit en TT. Another way to support our caregivers is of course: #RestezChezVous” tweeted shortly after the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP).

The French started on Tuesday confinement of at least two weeks, unprecedented in the history of the country, in an attempt to stem the epidemic of coronavirus compared to a “war” to be led by Emmanuel Macron.
