In a view prepared for policy makers, the council warned that “the virus has recently circulated more actively, with further loss of estrangement and barrier measures” since France emerged from a strict two-month blockade in May.
“The balance is fragile and we can make a turn at any time towards a less controlled situation like Spain’s, for example,” he said.
And the council warned of a possible “resumption of the virus flow at a higher level” until the fall of 2020, after the summer holidays in August.
In the short term, retention is largely in the hands of citizens, he said.
The message underlined through President Emmanuel Macron, who on Tuesday suggested that citizens remain “vigilant” and continue to put into force anti-infective measures such as keeping others away, normal hands and dressing up in public spaces.
Data published Monday through the Department of Health showed that the number of other people in extensive care increased to thirteen over the weekend, breaking a downward trend observed since April, when strict restraining orders were in place. It climbed 4 more on Tuesday for a total of 388.
29 new deaths were reported in the same period, bringing the country’s death toll to 30,294.
At the height of the epidemic in April, more than 7,100 others were receiving extensive care in French hospitals, which had 5,000 beds of extensive care at the time of the crisis.
Last week, thousands of new infections were shown, leading some cities and regions to impose local restrictions amid reports from others ignoring the social distance and rules for wearing public masks.
‘Likely wave’
The rate of infections shown has exceeded 1,000 per day since the end of July.
Prime Minister Jean Castex on Monday asked France to “not let their guard down” in order to have a new national blockade.
“We are seeing an increase in epidemic numbers that make us more attentive than ever,” Castex said.
Paris and the southern city of Toulouse have joined the ranks of local government in taking steps to force others to wear outdoor masks in certain situations, in addition to the national legal responsibility for covering themselves with canopy and other shared spaces inside.
The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, had suggested to the city’s police prefect that she use her powers to make the mask mandatory in busy spaces such as the banks of the Seine, open-air markets and around the exercise stations.
Clinical council said the government’s reaction to a “second likely wave” of coronavirus infections should be different from the first.
He suggested that the government implement “prevention plans” for larger and densely populated metropolitan areas, with localized home containment methods that will be strengthened or alleviated as the epidemic develops.
However, the Ministry of Culture demonstrated that up to 5,000 spectators will be able to participate on occasion under “certain conditions”, such as disguised from 15 August.
Yonathan Freund, an emergency physician at pitié-Salpétriére hospital in Paris, is among the experts to warn that they are opposed to overreacting.
“The scenario in France does not justify saying there has been an aggravation,” he told the AFP.
“If there are 1,000 cases a day, it’s because the virus is still circulating, and that’s normal,” he says.
