“We must strongly recommend wearing the mask in closed, poorly ventilated places”estimates Professor Alain Fischer, president of the Advisory Council for the anti-Covid-19 vaccine strategy, Thursday June 30 on France Inter. “There is a wave before us”he warns, referring to “a phase of fairly clear rise in the number of cases, with a more moderate rise, for the moment, in the number of hospitalizations”.
According to him, “it involves putting on the mask in public transport, in certain places of work or socializing (…) where a lot of contamination happens”. “If it is necessary to go to the obligation, personally, I am not against“, adds Alain Fischer. For him, “It’s an act of good citizenship to wear a mask“especially to protect the elderly or frail.
A few days before the big departures on vacation, the professor also advises grandparents who are going to receive their grandchildren to carry out their second reminder. “It is absolutely essential, it cannot be discussed, it is imperative to limit the consequences of this wave as much as possible., slice Alain Fischer. Regarding children,they should be vaccinated themselves“, he believes, “without any illusions” on this subject. The Chairman of the Anti-Covid-19 Vaccine Strategy Guidance Council is aware that the authorities “failed to convince doctors and parents of the merits of this vaccination” for kids.
“If this virus is there it is because it is more contagious, it resists the immune response a little”warns the professor. “But it is not more severe, it does not cause more serious forms of the disease”he says.
