the strengthening of teleworking as the main government announcement

Among the measures announced following the Sanitary Defense Council of Monday, December 27, the Prime Minister confirmed that he “again wanted to strongly encourage teleworking three or even four days a week when possible, to avoid contamination in the workplace and during transport”, explains journalist Thierry Curtet. The government has chosen not to institute a curfew or confinement on New Year’s Eve.

Teaching places will only be closed as a last resort, so there is no question of postponing the date of the start of the school year. The confinement of people already vaccinated when they are in contact will be reviewed: Olivier Véran has indicated that he does not want to paralyze the economy but at the same time, with the variant Omicron, the number of contamination doubles every two days. The Minister of Health indicated that it was possible that nearly 250,000 daily cases would be detected daily within a few weeks.
