You then displayed an admirable sense of responsibility. And thanks to the exceptional commitment of our caregivers and all the teams, all the patients who needed it were able to be taken care of in hospital or in city medicine. Thanks to all of you who have continued to work, despite the anguish often, to provide essential services to the Nation, we have been able to feed ourselves and continue to live. » President Macron praised the workers who continued to be on front-lines during the lockdown, that was eased from May 11th. When, on April 13, I announced that you would end containment from May 11 - I know many people advised against it, there was no consensus, opinions were very different, including among scientists - but we collectively and methodically prepared what has been called deconfinement. Again, everyone worked very hard, we overcame the fears, the anxieties. And you came out again and went back to work. We did well. Our factories, our businesses, our businesses have been able to restart. » President Macron added.

It is necessary and there too I count on you. Because we have to get our economy back on track by continuing to protect the most vulnerable. We do not have to blush my dear compatriots for our record. Tens of thousands of lives have been saved by our choices, by our actions. In a few days, we have been able to double our resuscitation capacities, organize transfers of hundreds of patients between regions and with neighboring countries, supply stores, reorient our industrial production, invent new forms of solidarity. The period showed that we had the spring, the resource. That, faced with a virus that struck us earlier and harder than many others, we were able to be inventive, reactive, solid. » President Macron said, To be continued in next article 2 " Remarks of French President macron on June 15, Address on TV Tf1)
