Emmanuel Macron told about fifteen mayors that he intended to reopen museums and terraces from mid-May, before pursuing a gradual reopening, in stages.
The head of state also confirmed that schools will reopen on the scheduled dates (April 26 for elementary schools and May 3 for high schools). The head of state “was very firm on the reopening of schools,” said Marie-Claude Jarrot, mayor of Montceau-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire).
Emmanuel Macron, who then brought together a dozen ministers by videoconference, is not, according to the mayor, on the other hand “committed to the date of mid-May for the reopening of cultural places” but repeated that “the priority was the museums and the terraces ”.
