Paris bans daytime jogging

The Paris authorities have banned daytime jogging in a bid to reduce contact between people and help slow the spread of the virus.

Going out for a run is permitted under France’s lockdown rules, but in Paris doctors fear too many people are going out during daylight hours and not keeping the correct distance apart.

The authorities also suspect some people are claiming to be taking their daily exercise, but in fact are just getting out of their homes. So it’s been decided to ban jogging between 10 in the morning and seven in the evening.

Paris has seen a surge of cases of coronavirus in the last week, with no sign yet of the wave having peaked.
