“We are in a difficult situation,” Veran said in an interview with the Journal Du Dimanche (JDD) published on Sunday, adding that the most cases detected is not just due to more evidence.
Like President Emmanuel Macron, Veran has ruled out the need for a general blockade to combat the spread of the disease. But he said localized action can be taken as cases multiply in France and elsewhere.
“This is a French exception, it’s a European dynamic,” Veran said.
On Saturday, France reported an accumulation of 3602 new COVID-19 infections in the last 24 hours, a smaller build-up than the previous day. However, earlier in the week, the number of instances peaked after the employer close.
The number of other people hospitalized and in extensive care has increased and decreased.
Veran said cross-contamination is already taking place between population teams (young people, other people over 2 to 40 years old and their elders).
“The new measures will be implemented shortly,” Veran said, giving additional details.
Parties and meetings where social estrangement regulations were not well-known were now the main source of contagion, Veran added, unlike early summer, when he was in the workplace.
In many cases, other young people who were carrying the virus were asymptomatic or had fewer complications, Veran said.
Paris police are preparing for football celebrations on Sunday night when Paris St Germain faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, and officials said they would enforce the mask and distribute protective devices in places such as the Champs-Elysées. Avenue.
