New Year’s test rush

This pharmacy has just opened, Friday December 31st. While testing won’t start when it opens, some people are already lining up to get tested. It’s no surprise, according to the pharmacist, who expects a real rush for this New Year’s Day. Yesterday, 400 tests were carried out in this pharmacy, which even had to close earlier in the face of crowds. People are worried, so they are taking their precautions.

Yesterday, 200,000 positive cases were detected in France. Currently, more than 3,500 people are in intensive care. Figures which are worrying and which are increasing. To relieve the pharmacies, the government took an exceptional decision: the self-tests are available until January 31 and at a lower cost in supermarkets, explains the journalist of France Televisions, Mathieu Barrere.
