a tenth wave of Covid-19 in France

France would be at the start of a tenth wave of Covid-19. “We are at 8,000 cases per day, we are far from the 62,000 that there were during the last peak. This gradual start is also explained because we have four times fewer people who get tested than during the last wave.“, explains Dr. Damien Mascret, doctor, journalist France Télévisions, present on the set of 12/13, Wednesday March 29. Thanks to vaccination or contamination, the population is also better immunized.

More than 20 deaths per day due to Covid

However, you have to be careful. “There are still 400 hospitalizations per day of patients with Covid. It also means people who will go to intensive care and more than 20 deaths per day from Covid.“, continues the doctor. More than half of the over 60s have not had their second vaccine booster and will be more vulnerable. Finally, even if the contaminations are those of the Omicron variant, another variant, more dangerous, could emerge.
