Paris no longer deemed a "red" coronavirus danger zone -French PM

Paris is no longer deemed to be a "red" coronavirus danger zone, the risks posed by the virus moving down a notch to "orange", French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Thursday.

The orange rating means Paris is not as free of the virus as the majority of regions in France designated "green", however, earlier lockdown measures will be eased in Paris, with parks in the capital due to re-open next week.
