What will the government decide after the Council? health defense scheduled for Monday, December 27? As the number of contaminations continues to increase, several avenues are on the table to stem the spread of the virus and avoid slowing our economy down.
With the Omicron variant which is spreading rapidly, France has reached a record number of 100,000 contaminations in the last 24 hours, Sunday, December 26. So how do you deal with the fifth wave? The government is expected to announce new measures on Monday, December 27. First, the duration of isolation could be reduced. Today she is seven days when you are in contact with Omicron and 17 if you share the home of the infected person.
But this strategy does not seem tenable. An epidemiologist warns of the risk of paralysis of the economy. A positive person infects around 10 people. At the current rate of 100,000 positive cases per day, there would therefore be one million daily contact cases. France would therefore end up with several million sick leaves per day. So some scientists want stronger measures.
