Paris bans daytime outdoor exercise as coronavirus death toll in France hits 10,000

AKIPRESS.COM - Authorities in Paris have banned exercise outside during the day, as deaths from coronavirus continue to rise in France daily, BBC reports.
The new rules are in force between 10:00 and 19:00 local time, and come into effect on Wednesday.
The death toll in France has risen above 10,000 - the fourth-highest figure after Italy, Spain and the US.
The toll in French hospitals - not counting care homes - was 607 for the past 24 hours, health officials said.
The total now is 10,328, a rise of 16% compared with the Monday total. However, the latest data for care homes is not complete.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo and the chief of police said the new jogging rules would make people exercise "when the streets are generally at their quietest".
France has been under strict lockdown measures for almost a month. Anyone who goes outside is required to carry a document stating their reason for leaving home: shopping for necessities, visiting a doctor, or exercise within 1km (half a mile) of their address.
Police have fined hundreds of thousands of people for breaking the tight restrictions.
