Locked-down France imposes strict restrictions on movement

France and Spain join Italy in imposing lockdowns on tens of millions of people.

French citizens are adjusting to drastic changes in their lifestyles due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Thousands of police officers have been deployed to enforce the regulations – and those breaking them are fined.

During their confinement, people may only leave home for essential work, to buy medicines or food.

Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler takes a look at how the restrictions are affecting the French.
