Record temperatures: Paris bans public drinking, hospitals face overload from

Authorities in Paris have decided to temporarily ban the consumption of alcohol in public places, while the French capital's hospitals are facing a high influx of patients due to the extreme heat wave that has engulfed France and much of Europe.

The ban comes into effect at noon on Friday and will last until the early hours of Saturday morning, while the same measure will be applied throughout the weekend. The sale of alcohol for take-away during the evening hours will also be prohibited.

Paris Police Chief Patrice Faure declared that hospitals had reached a "saturation point," stressing that the measures were aimed at reducing pressure on the health system.

French Health Minister Stéphanie Rist said that the Paris ambulance service has recorded four times more cardiac arrests than usual in the past 24 hours. She said that young people were among the affected cases.

Temperatures in Paris hit a record high for June, hitting 40.9 degrees Celsius, as the heatwave caused deaths and incidents across the country. Authorities report that at least 48 people have drowned since the extreme temperatures began, while three children have died after being left in vehicles exposed to the heat.

Faced with the situation, local authorities have taken a series of measures, including closing some schools, keeping parks open all night and limiting public activities. Even famous monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum have reduced operating hours due to the scorching temperatures.

More than 44 million people in France are under the highest heat alert level, while meteorologists warn that extreme temperatures will continue in the coming days.
