The French government has proposed to extend the country's COVID-19 state of emergency until July 31 next year, reports Euronews.
A draft law for the extension will be submitted to France's parliament for a vote, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Wednesday.
The current state of emergency bill in France - allowing the government to impose coronavirus-related restrictions - is set to expire on November 15.
Under current rules, citizens must use a COVID-19 health pass to access bars, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, and other venues.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Attal told reporters that the extended state of emergency would help France deal with the health crisis.
