State of emergency declared in Martinique, La Reunion due to COVID-19 Delta variant

Macron

A state of emergency has been declared in Martinique and La Reunion from tomorrow with a curfew.

The announcement was made by French President Emmanuel Macron today.

According to President Macron, the prefect in Martinique will give the details of the state of emergency and the curfew tomorrow.

He said the reason for these measures is the rapid expansion of infection by the COVID-19 Delta variant.

The president also indicated that in France similar measures will be put in place including mandatory vaccination for all medical personnel and other persons working at health facilities.

He also said that the government is moving to make a vaccine passport fa requirement for all citizens to enter public spaces, including airplanes.

Macron said that implementation of the latter measures will begin by September.

      Just said same thing yesterday, many young ppl, particularly young Men, dropping dead in their Beds, otherwise healthy ppl. Is the Government and society paying attention?
      Wesley, Marigot, St.Joseph, Grandbay, check the recent death statistics. Find out whether they had taken the Jab

        Perhaps it’s this ‘vaccine’ that originates from South America. Apparently at the beginning it does wonders and then…

    More foolishness. First disease I see that relies so heavily on the media and false statistics to make the world know how “deadly” it is..
    What’s worse is that all the World leaders seem to be taking it hook line and sinker. The three (Haiti, Burundi and Tanzania) who decided not to sing same song, all died during the same plandemic.

    What is France doing in LaReunion and Martinique? Oh, I remember, They bought and sold these beautiful islands with all the people in them. Savage, sick I tell you.

      Just for your info, these people living in LaReunion and Martinique would not swap with you under no circumstance. The rate of unemployment in Martinique is under 3% and the average income is just over 20,000 Euro per annum. Average income in DA? I don’t know but one thing is for sure – no where near that. These guys have a state run health system and they have a state run pension system. If I had a choice where I would like to live, either of those French democratic governed islands would be my choice instead of living in a fledging dictatorship that has absolutely nothing to offer to its people. But unlike the french president, the PM of DA is a billionaire. @nothing new, I hope you see now what a dumb as. you are. Get out of here, jealousy will kill you!

        Macron would disagree with you on the billionaire thing but what’s a few pieces of silver and they take you and your land?

      Is that all you remember, how about their hero Columbus whose b rode side-saddle with him and wrote to the Vatican saying they met about 1 million people in z Hispaniola, but on his return 10yrs later there were only 60 thousand left, mostly the blacks? The Vatican replied to Spain and Portugal that they are both authorized to place in servitude all pagans and infidels, meaning all indigenous people. And the mayhem that resulted to today?

        Columbus was not French, just for your info. But keep on writing just for the sake of it. You think you know it all but in reality you know jack.

          You don’t get it do you? Even my 3rd grader has figured he is still the European’s hero while you need to find yours like all other groups.

            So you are a teacher… God help us, or rather God help our poor children. No doubt you are one of those red professors that got their teaching job courtesy of the ruler of Dominica for services rendered during election time. I tell you if one of my children would visit a school where one of you lot teach I would take you out of the class room and gave you such a severe kicking in your rear end that you would be unable to walk for a day let alone sit on it. Lucky enough I’m in a position to sent my children to a public school in England.

    Why only now? That Emmanuel Macron, Guy is a joke anyway his political rating in France, is hitting rock bottom that means he might be out at the next General election!

    We are now living in a wicked World it is not the days of 80s. One day Hyman with have no rights the people we elect in government will determine where we leave, how we leave, what we eat, when we eat, time for sleep and what medicine to take, which doctor to go to, and take away your independence and make US dependent. In today’s world only one person you can trust, not our government, not doctors, not police, not religious leaders, nor family but GOD. Good luck, if you can’t see it look a little deeper.
