French authorities will put Paris and its region on maximum sanitary alert level at the start of the week following a rise in the number of coronavirus cases, the prime minister's office said on Sunday.
The highest alert level implies additional restrictive measures for public places that will be detailed in a news conference on Monday, the prime minister's office said.
The new restrictive measures will be implemented from Tuesday and will last 15 days, the prime minister's office added.
