On March 13, local time, the number of confirmed cases of French new crown pneumonia exceeded 3,000, reaching 3,661, and the number of deaths increased to 79. French officials announced a ban on more than a hundred people on the same day.

France's response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic is escalating. French Prime Minister Philip consulted experts and scholars on the 13th and held discussions with the Minister of the Interior, Castaney and the Minister of Health, Villan, and then announced that France banned rally activities of more than 100 people at the national level. Philip said one of the goals of the French government is to avoid hospital saturation. He also said that France will not close its borders with its neighbors. The outbreaks in France's neighbors Italy and Spain are now severe. (Editor Chi Hanyu)
