the virus is still circulating a lot, even if health measures have been eased

“Why do we have the mask in public transport, when we no longer have it everywhere in the streets or in other establishments?”, asks Mael. According to a French study published last summer, “in reality, there is no excess risk in the streets, in shops, while there is an excess risk in transport”explains Damien Mascret, on the set of the 13 Hours of France 2. Another element that comes up a lot, posed by Frédérique: “I wonder if we didn’t take the masks off too soon.”

“It’s true that it may be a little early, because the virus is still circulating a lot, and the Pasteur Institute has calculated that there will be an increase in transmissions, between + 40 and + 130%”indicate Damien Mascret. Alice wonders why the fourth dose is only available to people over the age of 80. “These are the people most at risk of getting serious forms and the people who are sometimes the furthest from their third dose”answers the doctor and journalist France Télévisions Damien Mascret.
