Paris Bans Daytime <br />Exercise Outdoors The new rule will be <br />implemented on Wednesday. Citizens of Paris will not be <br />allowed to exercise outside between <br />10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time. Mayor Anne Hidalgo hopes <br />this will prompt people to exercise <br />"when the streets are generally at their quietest." Over 8,900 people have died <br />from COVID-19 in France. Health Minster Olivier Véran <br />said the outbreak has yet to <br />reach its peak in France, stating, <br />"We are still in a worsening phase of the epidemic." Currently, any French citizen who <br />leaves their home is required to carry <br />documentation stating their reason for leaving. Acceptable reasons include <br />shopping for necessities, <br />visiting a doctor or exercising <br />within half a mile of their address. According to the BBC, thousands of people have <br />been fined for breaking the restrictions.
