President Emmanuel Macron has warned tough new measures may be needed to contain a new wave of coronavirus in areas of France where infections and deaths continue to rise.

The French leader said on Monday "new decisions" would be taken in the coming days to rein in the further spread of the virus.

He said he had asked his government to work quickly to give "our citizens some visibility" of any new restrictions.

Parisians have been warned that the French capital, one of a number of areas of concern, is facing a new lockdown if the situation continues to worsen.
