Government Response Stringency Index after COVID-19 outbreak in France 2020-2021
After the global COVID-19 outbreak, the University of Oxford has set up a Government Response Tracker, which analyzes the stringency to which governments around the world have responded to the sanitary crisis. Thus, the French Government was quite easy on policies at the beginning of the year 2020, reaching a high value starting in March, just as the confinement was announced. The index value decreased in June before reaching a second high in November 2020. In 2021, the COVID-19 Government Response Stringency Index did not fall below 60 until May 2021.
