an encouraging evolution of the epidemic

The Covid-19 epidemic continues its slow decline in France on Sunday February 6. For the past two weeks, she finally seems to be starting to go back. For three months, the number of contaminations has increased exponentially but, since the peak of January 24, the number of positive cases has been continuously decreasing. 155,439 infections have occurred in the past 24 hours. A week earlier, there were 249,448. Conversely, the number of hospitalizations has been rising steadily for a month. More patients in the hospital but with less serious forms. For three weeks, the number of patients in intensive care has been falling almost continuously.

More and more European countries are lifting some of their restrictions. In Italy, quarantine measures for travelers have been lifted but the country is keeping its vaccination pass for leisure. The health pass has been abolished in Catalonia (Spain), as have gauges in public places. As for Denmark, all restrictions have been lifted there since the beginning of the month. In France, it will be necessary to wait until February 16 to see the reopening of nightclubs and the end of the ban on consumption in closed places. The vaccination pass will remain in effect until further notice.
