Public Health France recorded, on Tuesday March 9, more than 93,000 new contaminations, an increase of 16.6% over the last seven days.
A thrill of the epidemic expected for Gilles Pialoux, head of the infectious diseases department at the Tenon hospital in Paris. “Viral circulation is still very high and the average positivity rate reaches 20%“, he explains. He sees the easing of health measures, from February 14, as “a bet taken by the executive to say that the dikes will hold“.
Gilles Pialoux, also said he was worried “of the discourse that makes us stop the obligation of the mask. It’s not because it’s not anymore mandatory, not recommended“. According to him, a number of people at risk should continue to put on the mask in public to protect themselves against Covid-19. “It is possible that in France we have significant new viral circulation with this lifting of measures“, he added.
