The Covid-19 has been progressing rapidly in France for a few days, and the majority of departments are now above the incidence threshold. Damien Mascret, journalist and doctor, sheds light on the 12/13 set, Friday 12 November.
This is a major warning sign: the majority of departments in France have passed the milestone of 50 cases of Covid-19 contamination per 100,000 inhabitants. An extremely rapid progression of the virus on French territory. However, the situation is much less serious in hospitals. “The increase, over one week, is only 3.5%“, reports Damien Mascret, doctor and journalist France Televisions. The lack of caregivers in hospitals complicates the situation, however.
Although the situation is changing rapidly in France, it seems less serious than in some countries of Europe, such as the Netherlands. The measures would have been lightened there too quickly and vaccination coverage would remain insufficient, as in Romania. According to English experts, Romania, Greece, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Slovenia are the countries at risk of facing a fifth wave of Covid-19. France remains spared thanks to the barrier gestures and a major vaccination.
