		</div><p>Residents of Paris and several other regions of France spent their first weekend under a limited month-long lockdown.</p>
<p>While the French government insisted the rules would be less strict than in the past, the measures have been criticised as messy.</p>
<p>A travel authorisation certificate posted online was so ridiculed by French media for its unnecessary complexity that the Interior Ministry scrapped it within hours.</p>
<p>For now, simple proof of residence is required to stroll within a 6.2-mile radius.</p>
<p>The form the French government still obliges citizens to fill out to travel greater distances, up to 18.6 miles, also was not accessible online because of a technical glitch.</p>
<p>A website on Sunday simply said: “Available soon.”</p>
<p>Under the new restrictions, non-essential shops were closed but people are not required to spend most of the day confined at home.</p>
<p>The government announced the measures as the coronavirus picked up speed again in some parts of France.</p>
<p>The country reported 35,327 new confirmed cases on Saturday, when the number of Covid-19 patients in French intensive care units rose to 4,353, the most so far this year, the Health Ministry reported.</p>
<p>“When you look at the numbers, they’re unsustainable, and it is going to become ever-harder as the virus continues to circulate,” Anaelle Aeschliman, a nurse at the Ambroise Pare clinic in the western Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, said.</p>
<p>“I admit I was a bit disappointed that we aren’t being locked down nationwide.”</p>
<p>The French government has tried hard to avoid imposing a third nationwide lockdown.</p>
<p>President Emmanuel Macron said Friday that “lockdown” was not the appropriate term to describe the new regional restrictions.</p>
