The elections will take place with health and social distancing measures in place, France's Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said.
French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe says the second round of the country's municipal elections will take place on June 28.
The first round was held on March 15th two days before France entered a nationwide coronavirus lockdown.
The second round, scheduled for March 22, was postponed.
Around 5,000 cities or towns will need to hold a second round due to an inconclusive first round. That means that 16 million voters in France will head to the polls on June 28.
Philippe said it was necessary to continue democratic processes "with the virus and despite the virus", adding that the law requires that the election occurs in June.
Otherwise, the French government would have to reschedule both the first and second rounds at a later date. Philippe said that there was no way to know if the situation would be better in September.
The scientific body advising the government was not against the decision though not all politicians agreed within the government.
Scientific advisers said that health measures needed to be taken into account, including wearing a mask to vote. They said the government would need to reevaluate in June whether to definitely go ahead with the vote in case there was a second wave of infections.
The French government has been heavily criticised for holding the first round amid a widespread coronavirus outbreak in the country.
Philippe said he took responsibility for the decision to continue holding the elections despite the pandemic.
"This is not a second round like before [and] with the mayors that organise the vote and the candidates and their campaign staff, we have the double responsibility to ensure the security of those who participate in the electoral process and to [ensure] the sincerity of the vote," Philippe said.
French interior minister Christophe Castaner explained that people would need to be cautious during the campaigns, limiting contact between the candidates, staff, and voters.
Candidates will have one month to campaign for the elections instead of five days due to the social distancing measures that restrict large gatherings, for example. Castaner said that the government would also make it easier to secure ballots.
France has been heavily impacted by the pandemic with at least 28,215 COVID-19 deaths. An additional 83 people died in 24 hours, the General Directorate of Health announced on Thursday.
The country has recorded a total of 144,163 cases since the beginning of the epidemic. France began lifting its lockdown measures on May 11 and the government will present a plan to continue phasing out measures next week.


Delta state government said the £4.2 million recovered by the Nigerian government from the money former governor James Ibori looted is not yet in the state’s account.

Idris, had on Tuesday told the House of Representatives Committee on Recovered Assets, in Abuja, that the funds had been released to Delta state government.
Reacting to the Accountant-General’s statement, the state government in a statement by Olisa Ifeajika, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, in Asaba, disclosed that the money had not arrived in the state coffers.
According to the statement, the state government was in contact with the federal government, especially the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, on the issue, stressing that “We have not received from the federal government the 4.2 million pounds returned by the United Kingdom.”
The state government however expressed appreciation for the disposition of the federal government in releasing the funds to the state, and assured that it would acknowledge receipt of the funds when it arrives.
The state government also assured the federal government and Delta people that the funds would be judiciously used, especially to complete projects it had earlier intimated the Presidency about.

WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland’s government said on Monday it was under attack from a criminal conspiracy after a magazine published a new round of secretly recorded conversations that have embarrassed officials and left Prime Minister Donald Tusk under pressure to quit.
The opposition has said the government should step down over the recordings, which included the central bank chief discussing ways to help the ruling party avoid election defeat, and the foreign minister calling Polish-U.S. ties worthless.
Attention in Poland has also turned to who could have carried out illegal surveillance on such a scale: the recordings took place at at least two Warsaw restaurants over an extended period and captured on tape more than a dozen officials, politicians and company bosses.
“The government has come under attack from an organized criminal group,” Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in comments broadcasts by the TVN24 station.
“We don’t know who is behind this, we are not sure about that. It is being studied, I hope that the justice system will establish the identity of these people and their masterminds, that they will be identified and punished.”
Excerpts from the secret recordings were published in the weekly news magazine Wprost. The government has said that the remarks of the officials who were secretly recorded were taken out of context, and that they had not broken the law.

(MENAFN) A group of researchers from the University of Hull reported last week that microplastics had been discovered for the first time in human vascular tissue. In samples collected from the saphenous (leg) veins of patients having cardiac bypass surgery, five different forms of microplastic were found.
In a news statement that accompanied the paper's publication in the journal PLoS One, Professor Jeanette Rotchell claimed that “we were surprised to find them.” Noting that “we already know microplastics are in blood…but it was not clear whether they could cross blood vessels into vascular tissue and this work would suggest they can do just that.”

Nonetheless, they also noticed that the shape and types of plastic found in vascular tissue were noticeably different from those found in other tissue types.

CCPUR, January 10: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Manipur unit president, Th Chaoba Singh and a host of other party leaders from the state and Ccpur district today attended the formation of party office for 58/ Churachandpur mandal and 55/ Tipaimukh mandal at VTI Auditorium, Rangkai Lamka.
The BJP state team also hoisted the party flag during the function.
Attending as the chief guest, Th Chaoba Singh said that “good governance” is the need of the hour in Manipur.
Under the “most corrupt party, Congress”, the state has been reduced to a mess, the BJP state president lamented.
Comparison today with other state even the neighbouring states would be a shame, as development has been swallowed by the corrupt government, he asserted.
Meanwhile, the former union minister said the development in Tripura and the simplicity of its ministers are worth mentioning, whereas in stark contrast, the condition in Manipur is pitiable.
He said there is no safe drinking water or proper supply of electricity available even in the second largest town of the state, Churachandpur.
Since, the country’s independence from the British in 1947, the country has seen only two credible/high calibre Prime Ministers: Lal Bahadur Shastri and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
India is on the verge of having the third such Prime Minister in Narendra Modi, he said.
Exalting the BJP prime ministerial candidate, the state president of the party said that Narendra Modi who doesn’t own a single bank account in his name was also instrumental in bringing development in Gujarat, which has bettered even some states in the USA.
Once the BJP comes to power, the state will see development in just five years, he said.
Elaborating that the people of the district have to come to the state capital, due to lack of doctors and even basic facilities at the district hospital, he observed that both the education and health sectors are also in pathetic conditions.
As for the education sector, the boom in private schools/ institutes is evident of the state of education in the state, he continued.
Since the government schools and colleges are inadequate, the people go to the private schools and continue to fish out unnecessary money, elaborated.
Once the BJP comes to power, the Imphal-Silchar road will be upgraded to a six-lane road, he said before calling upon the people to bring a change in the up-coming election and bring a corruption free party to power.
Chaoba also ensured a CCpur centric press conference at Imphal at the earliest.
National vice president of the party’s ST morcha, Prof Ganggumei Kamei said the BJP is the party with the difference.
The leader, who is also aspiring to get the party ticket for the upcoming Lok Sabha election for outer constituency, said it was BJP that had approved the formation of the DoNER ministry.
On the question of secularism of the party, he said that the party’s constitution said that the party is for “positive secularism”, which is more secular than the mere secularism.

KABUL (Pajhwok): Farmers in southern Helmand province have reduced poppy cultivation by more than 99 percent this year, according to a research study on Tuesday.
“This is extraordinary as Helmand typically produces more than half of the country's opium each year. Across the country, there has been more than 80 percent decrease in opium production compared to last year – an unprecedented reduction,” Alcis Holding Group said in its report.
This reduction in opium poppy cultivation is unlikely to impact the supply of heroin from Afghanistan in the short term.
However, if low levels of opium poppy cultivation persist into next year, it will have a significant impact on the supply of heroin globally.
Through the pioneering use of satellite imagery and machine learning, we are identifying the different winter crops that were grown this year and in recent years.
The results allow us to generate maps of winter crop cultivation at a level of precision and accuracy that has never been done before across Afghanistan.

— Tulsa’s city manager said Thursday that the city will soon ask the state to keep more than 100 stores open for business during an economic slump.
In a letter to the Oklahoma Department of Health and Environment, TPD chief Rick Smith said the city has already started asking people for comments about keeping the stores open.
He said the department plans to work with the state, which has authority to close stores, on how to keep the stores operating during the economic slump, which he said will likely be “rough.”
Smith said TPD will also request that state officials allow TPD to retain its downtown office space to allow the department to work in the downtown district.
TPD has about 100 downtown offices, but Smith said that number is likely to increase to about 1,000 as it tries to close more downtown buildings.TPD and the state both have jurisdiction over the city’s downtown district, and the departments say the plan is consistent with the spirit of the agreement reached between the city and the county.
In January, the state agreed to keep Tulsa’s downtown office district open through at least the end of 2019, as well as the TPD’s downtown offices.
The city is trying to find other ways to retain business, which Smith said would involve “creating new opportunities for people to come to the city to do things.”
Tulsa is a major city in the state’s heartland, and Smith said a decision to shut down its downtown buildings is a “no-brainer.”
The city will seek input from the public during its public comment period, he said.

Aizawl, Aug 9 (IANS) A ministerial level meeting between Assam and Mizoram was held in Aizawl on Tuesday to evolve strategies for a lasting solution to the inter-state border disputes between the two northeastern states.
The Mizoram delegation was led by Home Minister Lalchamliana, while the Assam deputation was headed by Border Protection and Development Minister Atul Bora.
After the meeting, Bora told the media that both the states agreed to promote and maintain peace and to prevent any untoward incident along the borders, adding that the deputy commissioners of the bordering districts of Assam and Mizoram would meet at least once in two months.
A joint statement issued after the meeting said: 'Both the states agreed that economic activities, including cultivation and farming, which have been practised by the people along the borders of the two states, shall not be disturbed and they would continue regardless of the administrative control presently exercised by either state at such locations, subject to forest regulations and after informing the deputy commissioners concerned.'
Bora said the next meeting would be held in Guwahati in October.
At Tuesday's meeting, Mizoram Home Minister was accompanied by state's Information and Public Relations minister Lalruatkima and top officials of the state home department, while the Assam delegation also included Housing and Urban minister Ashok Singhal and three officials, including state border protection and development commissioner and secretary, G.D Tripathy.
The Mizoram and Assam delegations had met in August last year to find a permanent solution to the vexed border issues after a series of clashes in the last two years.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Mizoram counterpart Zoramthanga met over the border issues in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi in November last year and agreed to form committees involving all the stakeholders to resolve the border disputes through talks.
Assam has border disputes with Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya.
The worst-ever violence along the 164.6 km long Assam-Mizoram border was reported on July 26 last year, which left six Assam Police personnel dead and nearly 100 civilians and security personnel of the two neighbouring states injured.
The decades-old boundary dispute between Mizoram and Assam mainly emerged from two colonial demarcations in 1875 and 1933.
While Mizoram accepted the demarcation under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BERF) notified in 1875, which covers vast stretches of area now falling under Assam, as its actual boundary, the Assam government said that the demarcation made under the 1933 notification was its constitutional boundary.

The Maldives' economy is expected to increase by 12 percent next year.
While presenting the proposed budget for 2022 at the Parliament, Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer said countries such as the Maldives, which depend on tourism for livelihood, suffered the unprecedented economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to a large degree. However, the countries are on a speedy road to recovery, with their economic outlook looking brighter day by day, said the minister. Similarly, the minister said the Maldives is also recovering from the challenges caused by the pandemic at a faster pace than the rest of the world.
Citing the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Minister Ameer said the world's economy is expected to improve by 5.9 percent this year and an additional 4.9 percent in 2022. In comparison, the Maldives' economy is likely to improve by 31.6 percent this year and a further 12 percent next year, he said.
The minister further noted that the positive changes to the global economy flourish the Maldives' tourism industry. The number of daily tourist arrival almost matches the pre-COVID-19 numbers from 2019, he said. He added that the government is hopeful that the yearly tourism arrival number will cross the 2019 numbers- 1.5 million tourists- next year.
'Next year, we hope to host between 1.5 to 1.8 million tourists,' the minister said.
The transport, construction, and retail business industries, the most significant contributors to the GDP after the tourism industry, are expected to thrive next year. The minister acknowledged that the challenges to the supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted local businesses. Projects under the Public Sector Investment Program were interrupted, and the construction industry declined both in 2020 and 2021, noted the minister.
While the travel industry has now returned to normalcy, the sector is also expected to flourish next year, said the minister. The development projects undertaken under next year's budget will also improve sectors related to the construction industry, the minister said. As a result, the tourism industry will further stabilize, which would, in turn, improve the transport, wholesale and retail sector, the minister said.
