A friend reports:
The lockdown in Paris is extremely severe.

Every individual has been assigned an identity paper. It can be accessed from a cell phone but needs to be printed out.

On the paper, a person must designate exactly why they are out of the house in terms of the allowed reasons for being out of the house and the reason must be timestamped on the paper.

Reasons for being out of the house are limited to buying food, visiting the doctor, walking the dog or going for a solitary jog in your own neighbourhood---and the number of times you can do these things are limited.

Police check the papers and anyone in violation is fined.
