The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is likely to affect more and more people in France. It could upset the organization of the country, especially in terms of working with people who were isolated for longer than before.
The health crisis in France is about to experience a new turning point with the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The Scientific Council warns about the situation and highlights the changes that this could cause. At work, people contracting this new form of the virus will have to isolate themselves longer than before: seven days for a contact case, up to 17 days if he is in his home.
Traveling to a vaccination center Thursday, December 23, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, promises a change in the rules in force. He asked “all the expertise necessary so that we can, at the very beginning of the coming week at the latest, determine what the new methods of isolation will be”. Companies are already facing a shortage of personnel. Among them, the SNCF, which had to cancel until January all regional trains from Bordeaux (Gironde), Carcassonne (Aude) or between Lyon (Rhône) and Grenoble (Isère).
