France will make face masks compulsory on public transport and in secondary schools when it starts easing its coronavirus lockdown on 11 May.

BBC News reports Schools will reopen gradually, starting with kindergartens and primary schools.

Pupils aged 11-15 will be expected to wear face masks.

It comes as hard-hit Spain also outlined its lockdown exit plan, aiming for what its prime minister called "new normality" by the end of June.
