New measures could be taken in France to fight against the 5th wave of Covid-19. Is this the right time? Damien Mascret, doctor and journalist at France Télévisions, sheds light on Monday, November 22.
The epidemic has once again gotten out of control from Covid-19 in a matter of weeks. But when should the authorities intervene? “Neither too early, because the French have had enough of the restrictions, nor too late, because otherwise the situation in the hospital could become untenable. According to a German study conducted under the aegis of the Max Planck Institute in collaboration with a Chilean university, balance to avoid an outbreak can be maintained by monitoring essential balance weights, explains the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present Monday, November 22 on the 20 Hours set. On the one hand, there is the significant contagiousness of the Delta variant and there is also the number of positive cases which, as we can clearly see in France, has been climbing rapidly in recent days.“
The situation of hospitals is already delicate in some departments. “Indeed, there are already about thirty departments in which the resumption of hospitalizations is quite strong. In Seine-Maritime, in Vaucluse, Lot, Gironde, Aisne, Vosges, Corrèze. These departments may already be at the tipping point. As you can see, it is high time to take new measures now if we want to breathe a little during the holidays.“, adds the journalist from France Télévisions.
