France is facing several difficult weeks ahead due to the new spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has led the government to enforce a new lockdown in some parts of the country, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Wednesday.

"We still have several difficult weeks ahead of us", he told BFM TV.
