【#法国巴黎正式实施宵禁#】由于新冠肺炎疫情反弹，法国巴黎自当地时间17日开始正式实施宵禁。宵禁从晚9点持续至次日早上6点，在该时段绝大多数公共场所关闭，民众被要求留在家中。About 20 million people in Paris and eight other French cities on Saturday entered their first night of a 9 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew, which will last for at least a month, after the country on Thursday saw a new daily high of 30,000 COVID-19 cases. French President Emmanuel Macron ordered the nightly curfew on Wednesday to tackle a surging second wave of the coronavirus, saying now was not the time for conviviality.
