Mélissa
I'm french and here in France we are not under lockdown like we were a few months ago. We have a curfew at 6pm which reduces our social life to the minimum. Lots of places are closed. For instance, the gym are closed, which frustrates me a lot. In my opinion, the media is talking a lot about the difficulty for parents to be under lockdown, or the difficulty for students. But it is difficult for so many people. As far as I'm concerned, I'm an anxious person and I suffer from insomnia and I really miss the gym which was a real therapy for me. On the other hand I'm very glad and proud to live in a country that protects people so much. People and companies which are out of work because of the covid can receive financial help from the government which really spend a lot to try to protect jobs. I know some people don't have the same advantages in other countries. I don't know what is the best solution to handle the covid situation, I think no government can know for sure and it's a matter of trial and errors.

I agree with the previous correction, except I would say: “6pm” is fine really... It may or may not be the official way to write it but I can’t see that it matters. ... financial help from the government, which is really spending a lot to try to protect jobs. (You put a pause in after “government” because you are adding extra info rather than crucial info, therefore you use a comma and “which”). https://www.lexico.com/grammar/that-or-which
