France: ‘Ultrasound’ increase in cases is expected in the coming days

The “ultrasonic” increase in Covid-19 cases in France is expected to continue in the coming days and there are no signs of a reversal of the trend, government spokesman Gabriel Atal said today.

The number of cases is reaching “stratospheric levels” in the Ile-de-France region around Paris, and in some other parts of France, and hospital conditions are likely to worsen in the coming weeks, a French government spokesman has warned.

At the same time, the French government declared a state of emergency in many overseas territories, such as Guadeloupe and Guyana, Mayotte, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthelemy, due to the significant increase in cases of Covid-19 caused by the O variant. virus.

Reunion and Martinique have been in a state of emergency since December 27th, allowing governors to impose curfews.

The outbreak of Omicron, combined with low vaccination coverage in the French archipelago, has sparked a number of outbreaks of the disease, threatening to develop serious forms of the disease and putting undue pressure on health structures.
