The number of Covid-19 contaminations is on the rise in France on Saturday April 2. However, if hospital admissions increase, the services are not saturated.
With the end of the vaccination pass and the mask in the company, are we done with the Covid-19 epidemic? Rising contaminations are causing trouble. Doctor Jean-Paul Hamon, honorary president of the Federation of Doctors of France, receives every day two to four patients positive for the last variant. He advises the French to get tested.
If in recent days, hospital admissions are on the rise, the services are for the moment far from being saturated. Is the vaccine effective? According to Professor Stéphane Gaudry, from the intensive care unit of the Avicenne hospital in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis), “vaccination coverage is correct” and “tremendously limits the number of serious forms”. For people already infected, the risk of getting sick with the new BA2 variant is “very weak”reports Olivier Schwartz, director of the Virus and Immunity unit at the Institut Pasteur.
