[Covid-19] France prepares for virus variants and progresses in vaccination

So far, the impact of variants on the epidemic in France does not seem to weigh too heavily on the spread. On the evening of January 21, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health only mentioned one “slightly rising high plateau, averaging 19,000-19,500 positive cases per day“, according to a member of Olivier Véran’s cabinet, the Minister of Health and Solidarity. The incidence rate of positivity, currently 6% to 7% in France, indicates a”slight inflection“, but remains”lower than some neighbors, like Spain or Portugal or this indicator unscrews“, according to the ministerial cabinet.
