Covid-19: cases are on the rise again in France – (franceinfo)
Public Health France warns of an increase in Covid-19 cases in France. The Ministry of Health calls for vigilance and the application of barrier gestures, as the holidays approach.
Consultations are increasing sharply among doctors, and reports in hospitals are experiencing a slight acceleration. The Covid-19 epidemic has started to rise again in recent days. Public Health France is sounding the alarm: “We are observing an upward trend in syndromic indicators in community medicine, with an increase in virological indicators.”
“It’s still a seasonal phenomenon above all”
The figures are expected to increase further in the coming weeks, and the factors that explain them are multiple. “It is still the seasonal phenomenon above all, and then, there is indeed a shift in variants which always benefits the last one, which has a small advantage over the others”, indicates a specialist. As the holiday season approaches, the Ministry of Health calls for vigilance and the application of barrier gestures. Elderly people or people with risk factors are also invited to be vaccinated against Covid-19, but also against the flu. It is possible to be vaccinated at the same time against both viruses.
