France has recorded more than 30,000 coronavirus deaths, with a number of pandemic infections reaching 200,000. The Ministry of Health has published a disturbing report, warning that if COVID-19 is under control, for now, “it could at any time move to a less controlled scenario.” The report through the country’s most sensible clinical committee follows a massive increase in new cases of coronavirus, with more than 7,000 new infections officially recorded last week.
There has also been a significant accumulation in the number of others treated for the fatal disease in intensive care.
The clinical committee warned that the course taken by coronavirus in France is “in the hands” of the country’s million inhabitants.
It also warns of the likelihood of a momentary wave of coronavirus infections “this fall or winter.”
The report reads: “The short-term long-term pandemic is mainly in the hands of the population.
“We are most likely to revel in a momentary outbreak this fall or winter.”
The press release also warned that the coronavirus “has recently circulated more actively, with greater distance loss and barrier measures” since France began to flex strict two-month blocking measures in May.
The report adds: “The balance is fragile and we can make a position at any time towards a less controlled situation as in Spain for example.”
Growing fears of a momentary wave of coronavirus have noticed that the French government tightens public hygiene rules, with cities such as Lille, Nice and Toulouse ordering others to wear masks on busy pedestrian streets.

Paris may follow soon, after the French newspaper Le Mondea informs that Mayor Anne Hidalgo has submitted a formal request to the state government for the mask to be mandatory in the purchase of groceries on the streets, the banks of the Seine and the parks and gardens.
The French government has also been criticized for its coronavirus detection policy after massive rows erupted in central Paris and other sites across the country.
On July 25, a decree was announced to do the loose and over-the-counter tests.
A spokesman for the ministry of fitness said France recently tested around 576,000 a week, up from 200,000 when President Emmanuel Macron began to ease one of Europe’s strictest locks in May.

He said there had been “localized problems,” but insisted that France follow the right strategy.
Health Minister Oliver Veran insisted that the strategy works and told the French newspaper Le Parisien: “The virus is no longer harassing us, we are following it.”
But epidemiologist Didier Pittet, who heads a government-appointed working group to oversee COVID-19’s remedy, told Europe 1 radio: “Testing someone is useless. You have to be the target.”
Emmanuel Macron is on holiday lately in his summer in Bregan, on the Mediterranean coast.
He traveled to the nearby port city of Toulon to meet with social staff concerned about the elderly, and reiterated the importance of following the rules of protection because “the virus is still circulating in our country.”
The French president said: “It is to continue to adhere to the rules opposed to kissing and handshaking, wearing masks, washing hands with an antibacterial gel and being careful when grandchildren come to visit, because the virus continues to circulate in our country.”
