In France, the number of people infected with COVID-19 reached 2.51 million as of December 24, 2020, and more than 61,000 people have died so far.

And on December 22, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship said, 'Healthcare professionals, cleaning professionals, childcare workers, store salespeople, etc. have proved their dedication to the country. One step towards them. We, the Republic, are the ones to take the step forward, 'and announced that there were already more than 2,800 applications through this program. As of the 22nd, 693 people are in the final stage of the acquisition process, and 74 people have already acquired it.
