Covid-19 infection accumulation rate worries French politicians; On Monday, 52,518 record cases were recorded with 418 deaths, bringing the death toll to 37,435.
And despite a new blockade, there have been protests opposed to government restrictions and there is enough anecdotal evidence (reported through Reuters) that other people continue to celebrate.
This prompted the government to announce that a curfew would be added, in addition to the lockdown, to prevent other people from leaving the streets in the afternoon and evening.
The Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced that in Paris, a user turned on each and every 30 seconds, with a Parisian admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 each and every 15 minutes.
As hospitals fill up, patients are now transported to other spaces for extensive care. Les Echos reported Tuesday that patients would begin being transferred across the border to German hospitals within the next 10 days to ease tension in French services. Patients with Covid-19 were air-flown from the Mediterranean island of Corsica to Vannes in western France.
A source of unease for the government, however, is that the citizens of France have not been as discreet about the lockout as they were in March, when everyone was invited to stay home (and by the maximum component they did).
During the existing blockade, which began on October 28, schools are open, but everyone has been asked to stay home and can only leave the space for an hour to exercise (no more than 1 km), pick up young people or shop. .
Many French cities saw protests on the first weekend of the closure, where teams in Paris, Rouen and Toulouse introduced fireworks, angered by the new restrictions. Police intervened in some cases.
However, in a survey conducted through Ifop, according to the Journal du Dimanche, 72% of others respect confinement and only 14% say no. What worries the government most, however, is the statistic few people accept. as with the government to deal well with the crisis: at 36%, this percentage has been declining since the beginning of the pandemic.
A government spokesman told French broadcasters Tuesday that a resolution would be taken on Wednesday about whether a curfew (probably at nine o’clock at night) would be imposed in Paris. country if necessary.
