(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Scientific research warns that France is "very likely" to face a second wave of epidemics this autumn and winter

  China News Agency, Paris, August 4 (Reporter Li Yang) The scientific research issued by the French Scientific Committee on New Coronary Pneumonia on the 4th local time issued a warning that France is "very likely" to face a second wave of epidemics this autumn and winter.

  The French Scientific Committee for Response to New Coronary Pneumonia issued a communiqué through the French Ministry of Health that day, revealing the main points of the relevant research. The committee said that the spread of the new crown virus in France is accelerating this summer, and the future direction of virus spread is actually in the hands of the people themselves.

  The communiqué is not optimistic about the prospects of the epidemic in France, pointing out that the current “balance” achieved in epidemic control is “fragile” and the development trend of the epidemic can be changed at any time, just as the epidemic is no longer under control in Spain.

  The communiqué warned that France may “lost” control of the spread of the new crown virus at any time, and pointed out that in this fall or winter, France is “very likely” to face a second wave of epidemics. The French Scientific Committee on New Coronary Pneumonia has called on the authorities to strengthen anti-epidemic measures and hopes to carry out strict anti-epidemic tests on passengers from high-risk areas. The committee also criticized the slow pace of tracking, testing, and isolating confirmed cases, and called on officials to improve virus screening methods.

  According to the epidemic data released by the French Ministry of Health on the evening of the 4th, France added 1,039 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in a single day on the 4th; France still has 5,162 hospitalized patients; and 388 severely ill patients, an increase for the second consecutive day. The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France is now 30,296.

  In France, the number of confirmed cases in a single day in the last few days is mostly over 1,000, prompting more and more provinces and cities to implement stricter epidemic prevention measures on local people, especially wearing masks outdoors. However, the phenomenon of ignoring social distance and not wearing masks in public places still occurs frequently.

  French President Macron visited the southern city of Toulon on the 4th and announced that a total of 160 million euros will be provided to all family care workers in France, so that they will each receive about 1,000 euros in bonuses, aiming to show that the French authorities are fighting the epidemic. Affirmation of the contributions made by the parties. The French government will contribute 80 million euros, and local administrations will provide the other half. (Finish)
