<p>France’s government has shut down all non-essential businesses and ordered people to stay indoors for the next month to slow accelerating virus infections, hospital admissions and deaths.</p>
<p>But cemeteries stayed open and church services were allowed for the All Saints’ holiday weekend.</p>
<p>Parisian Alice Crespel, who took her children to the cemetery in the historic Montmartre neighbourhood, said: “It is very important to be with the kids and have them join their grandmother in a family reunion without taking risks.”</p>
<p>The main exception to this lockdown is schools, which are allowed to stay open to reduce learning gaps and allow their parents to keep working.</p>
<p>While the lockdown is currently scheduled to end on December 1, health minister Olivier Veran warned that Christmas “will not be a normal holiday” this year and cautioned against planning big New Year’s parties.</p>
<p>France reported 223 new virus-related deaths on Saturday, for a total of 36,788, the world’s seventh-highest reported death toll.</p>
<p>Covid patients now occupy 68% of France’s intensive care units, a proportion that has doubled in two weeks.</p>
