France’s overseas territories, in particular the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, are being hit hard by Covid-19, President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday.
"The situation is dramatic," Macron said as he opened a virtual meeting with his senior cabinet ministers to discuss the epidemic, Reuters reported.
France's government had on Tuesday warned of an "extremely serious" Covid-19 crisis in the country's overseas territories, especially in the Caribbean, saying that infection rates had climbed to levels unprecedented on the mainland.
