French authorities placed Paris on maximum virus alert on Monday, banning festive gatherings and requiring all bars to close, but allowing restaurants to remain open under strict conditions. They include a minimum one-meter (three-foot) distance between each table, groups limited to six people instead of 10 previously, and a request to register customers’ names and phone numbers to help alert those who may have been exposed to someone with the coronavirus.
