the eighth wave of Covid-19 is here, confirms Jérôme Salomon to the magazine “Complément d’Enquête”, broadcast Thursday evening

The eighth wave of Covid-19 has arrived in France. In any case, this is what the Director General of Health, Jérome Salomon, says in an interview with the magazine Complément d’Enquête, which will be broadcast on Thursday September 22 on France 2. “Yes, there is an increase in cases, especially among young people. (…) We must resume our barrier gestures and, for all people who have an indication for vaccination, do their reminder at the same time as their reminder flu”he replied. A position out of step with that of the Minister of Health, François Braun, who affirmed Monday on France Inter that he “too early to say it’s the start of the eighth wave.”

“The back-to-school effect is in full play, the numbers have started to rise again in all age groups and in all departments. The eighth wave is beginning”affirmed on France 2 Tuesday Damien Mascret, doctor and journalist at France Télévisions.
