French Prime Minister Jean Castex speaks during a press conference at the French Health Ministry in Paris on November 12, 2020, nearly two weeks into a second national lockdown in France aimed at curbing the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus. – Over half of the French have broken the rules governing the second coronavirus lockdown, an Ifop survey showed on November 12, 2020, half-way through the new confinement period. France, which has lost over 42,000 people to Covid-19, went back into lockdown on October 30 to try to tame a second wave of infections that experts warn could be deadlier than the first.
