Amazon planning to extend closure of French warehouses until May 13

Amazon plans to extend the closure of its French warehouses until May 13 included, the e-commerce giant said on Thursday.

In a statement, the U.S. group also says it will contest a ruling by an appeals court restricting its deliveries and bring a case to France's highest court.

Amazon's six French warehouses have been closed since April 16 following court rulings that ordered it to restrict deliveries during the Covid-19 pandemic or face hefty fines.
