The mayor (PS) of Nancy, Mathieu Klein, on Monday deemed “inevitable” a local re-containment in the face of the rebound of the Covid-19 epidemic in the Grand Est, also calling for “accelerating” the vaccination campaign in the regions most most affected.

“I think that the prospect of reconfinement is an inevitable prospect today”, he declared on Monday on France Info, while leaving to the State the care of fixing the perimeter, which could be that of region or metropolis.
The vaccination should be present as soon as possible

“In the regions most affected today, it would be necessary for vaccination to be present as quickly as possible and to accelerate,” he also advocated.
The circulation of the virus has accelerated sharply over the past two weeks
“Here in the Grand Est, and particularly in Lorraine and Nancy (…) the circulation of the virus has accelerated sharply for two weeks, three weeks”, argued the mayor of Nancy.
“Very worried”, he spoke of a “very tense” situation in the hospital even before Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
“In a fortnight, at the Nancy hospital, we went from 117 to 163 patients hospitalized for the Covid”, these now occupying “half of the intensive care beds”, he said.
“The Covid has entered the hospital, clusters exist”, underlined Mathieu Klein. “We are waiting for a situation to deteriorate before taking action when we could show more anticipation,” he said. He had already launched a similar appeal last week, just like the mayor (LR) of Reims, Arnaud Robinet.
