Before the announcement of the outcome, the Scientific Council warned Macron of "the necessity of extending isolation measures" in France for a period longer than the two weeks originally announced.
"The isolation will likely continue for at least six weeks from the date of its application," on March 17th, stressing "the need to tighten it up."
