PARIS (Reuters) – The situation in China, where a second wave of coronavirus infection is feared, is “worrying” but trends in France remain positive, Labour Minister Muriel Penicaud said on Wednesday.

“We chose a progressive and controlled easing of lockdown. At this stage we are in positive momentum. I am thus working with my teams and with social partners on a lightened easing protocol for companies,” Penicaud told Radio Classique.
