the executive meets as a defense council to rule on health measures

Restraint or a new turn of the screw in the face of the Omicron variant? Several measures are on the table, while the executive is due to meet in defense council, Monday, December 27. Some ministers are calling for a New Year’s Eve curfew. A track which is far from having the favors of Emmanuel Macron. There is also the question of the extension of school holidays, demanded Sunday, December 26 in a forum by fifty caregivers.

The obligation to wear a mask outside will once again be the order of the day, particularly in the center of large cities and in the event of crowds. But the real question will be the length of the contact isolation at Omicron. Today, it is seven days, whether you are vaccinated or not, and 17 days for those who live in the same household as a positive person. With the risk of paralysis of part of society, explains France Televisions journalist Cyril Graziani.
