In the past 24 hours, more than 400,000 cases of Covid-19 contamination have been recorded on Friday January 21. The schedule for the reduction of health measures unveiled by the government therefore raises some doubts and concerns among scientists.

Dancing in a nightclub, joining colleagues in the office or breathing without a mask… Here are some habits that the French will find from February 2. However, Covid-19 contaminations have reached a historic level in the past four days. More than 400,000 daily cases were thus recorded on Friday January 21. The timetable for the reduction of health measures unveiled by the government therefore raises some concerns on the side of certain scientists.We do not see on what criteria it was decided. Of course, these are political criteria, but are there health markers that allow this?“, asks Professor Gilles Pialoux, infectious disease specialist.

Delta and Omicron waves are felt in hospitals. Blood pressure decreases in intensive care, but admissions continue to increase. They were just over 18,000 patients on January 1. Now, that figure stands at nearly 28,000. If the peak seems to have been reached in Île-de-France, this is not yet the case in the other regions where the number of patients is still increasing.
