France president Emmanuel Macron announced in a televised speech on Thursday the shutdown of schools, universities and colleges across the country starting on March 16 for an undetermined amount of time.

Macron also called coronavirus the “biggest health crisis that France has known in a century.” While Macron did not use the word of “quarantine” in his speech, he also asked all French people to limit traveling and work from home as much as possible, as well as advised people above 70 to stay home.
