Coronavirus in France – the country announced the beginning of the fifth wave

According to him, the resumption of the epidemic in France is clearly reminiscent of the beginning of the fifth wave.

“The big difference is that since we are massively vaccinated (…) we can get past this wave,” he said.

Veran also noted that the Ministry of Health is considering starting vaccinations for children under 12 years of age.

“There won’t be a solution until the end of the year or early 2022,” he said.

Also in France, revaccinations are considered for persons under 50 years old,

“Research will show us whether the level of protection provided by a vaccine decreases when a person is younger or not. If we see that this is the case, we will offer revaccination,” he said.

According to a French public health report, the epidemic continues to intensify in the country, where 11,883 new cases of coronavirus have been recorded in the past 24 hours, with 33 deaths from it. Currently, 6,906 patients are hospitalized, 1154 patients are being treated in intensive care units.
