PARIS (Reuters) - Wearing face masks will be made compulsory outdoors from Aug 8 to Aug 30 in parts of Marseille, France's second-largest city, to contain the spread of the coronavirus, local authorities said on Friday.

France has seen a surge in new COVID-19 cases over the past 10 days and Paris is expected to announce similar measures in coming days.
