Soon a new public intervention by the Head of State. “Very soon, the President of the Republic will speak again”, announced the spokesman of the government, Gabriel Attal, Friday, November 5. It will be a question of doing “an update on the health situation”, but also “an update on the economic recovery, the reforms which are being carried out in our country and on all the subjects which cross our country”, he said, without giving an exact date.
The government spokesperson recalled that Emmanuel Macron had already spoken on July 12, 2021, when the fourth wave of coronavirus was rising in France. “He made a commitment at the end of his speech to return to the French and speak once again in front of them”, he explained. The President of the Republic should speak after the next health defense council which will take place Tuesday or Wednesday, specifies a source among the executive, to France Televisions. The government is also awaiting the HAS report on the integration of the booster dose into the health pass.
Lower temperatures, vaccination that has reached a ceiling, relaxation of barrier gestures: the conditions are met to promote an epidemic resumption which is confirmed in France, after having already reached a good part of Europe. On Thursday, the National Public Health Agency reported 9,502 new cases and a positivity rate of 2.2% over the last seven days.
A week earlier, that rate, which measures the proportion of cases among those tested, was only 1.8%. This recovery started last month, as evidenced by other indicators. The week of October 25, the incidence rate, which reports the number of new cases to the entire population, was already up 12% compared to the previous week.
