infectious disease specialist Eric Caumes says he fears a “re-acceleration” of the epidemic at Christmas

The virus “is still circulating and unfortunately it does not circulate badly”, recalled on BFMTV-RMC the head of the infectious diseases department at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital.

This is a concern shared by many caregivers. Guest of BFMTV-RMC, infectious disease specialist Éric Caumes said he feared “a re-acceleration” of the epidemic, on the occasion of Christmas and the end-of-year celebrations.

The virus “is still circulating and unfortunately it circulates quite a bit”, commented the specialist, head of the infectious diseases department at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital.

“It is enough that we relax a little more precautions, especially within families” for the curves of the epidemic to start again on the rise, he warned.

“Aerate, aerate, aerate”

To avoid this, Eric Caumes called to respect the recommendations of the health authorities – and in particular not to meet more than 6 adults for Christmas – and to continue the application of barrier gestures. Even in winter, and despite the drop in temperatures, it is necessary to “ventilate, ventilate, ventilate”, he thus recommended.
