Hello Nico,
Leaving containment will be “Gradually, carefully” and “If the conditions are met” and that the number of cases and hospitalizations continues to drop, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Tuesday when presenting his calendar on Tuesday in the National Assembly. In the best of cases, the head of government plans a first phase from May 11 to early June, followed by a second “Until summer”, with many exceptions. And “If the indicators are not there, we will not deconfinate on May 11” or “More strictly”, he warned.
The health situation will be studied locally, and the deconfinement, on May 11, will be differentiated between the departments in ” green “, where it will be applied widely, and in “Red”, where it will take a stricter form, announced Mr. Philippe.
To assign these colors to departments, three criteria will be studied on May 7 to determine which ones “The circulation of the virus remains active”, “Hospital capacities in intensive care remain tense” and “The local test and contact case detection system is not sufficiently ready”, he clarified before the deputies.
Last week (April 20-26), 32 departments still had excess mortality, two of which, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d´Oise, in the Paris region, posted a “Exceptional level” mortality – which the Directorate General for Health does not specify.
To try to set the deconfinement to music by region and by department, Mr. Philippe will reunite this Wednesday prefects and local elected officials, betting on a resumption at least of educational, economic and social activity from May 11.
