France is not envisaging local lockdown measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic based on the current pace at which the disease is spreading, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Wednesday.
"The rate at which the virus is circulating does not justify bringing in local lockdown measures," Attal told BFM TV.
Attal said there was no shortage of vaccine doses in France and said the country would meet its goal of vaccinating a million people by February, after growing criticism over its slow start in administering doses compared to other European nations.
