"I hear scientific advice that 'the pandemic is under control' so let's go"
"If it is confirmed that the pandemic is under control, yes we must speed up deconfinement because every day, every week costs the economy, and the faster we deconfinate, the faster we will go back to work, to consume, to travel, more quickly we will save jobs, "said Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, a few hours before an address by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. "Every day counts", underlined the president of Medef, interviewed in the program Le Grand Jury . "I hear the scientific council which says 'this is the pandemic is under control' (...) so let's go".

For a rapid reopening of schools
"There is a little morphine side with all these aid systems" put in place to support the economy in the crisis, he added. "Every day we go into debt, every day we spend money. We must get out of the IV as soon as possible." He also declared himself in favor, like certain pediatricians, of a faster reopening of schools: "there too, I hear the scientific council which says 'let's go'". The children who cannot all be taken care of at present in schools and nurseries, "it forces the parents to stay at home, therefore they are on partial unemployment, therefore they do not work, therefore no wealth is produced".
The epidemic of Covid-19 is currently "controlled" in France and the health rules for children at school could be lightened by the end of June, had recently estimated the president of the Scientific Council, Jean- François Delfraissy.
