France will enter its third national lockdown at the end of this week as it grapples with more than 30,000 new COVID-19 cases a day and a death toll nearing 100,000.
Schools will be closed for three weeks and domestic travel is banned for at least a month.
It extends strict measures already in place in regions like Paris, which had been criticised as inadequate.
