THE ESSENTIAL
Pas-de-Calais reconfigured on weekends and Paris and Marseille spared.
This is what we know of the new measures that have been decided by the executive to fight against the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, which is on the rise in several departments.
Measures that must specify Jean Castex while 20 departments are placed under enhanced surveillance.
Jean Castex will also return to the levers to accelerate the deployment of the AstraZeneca vaccine, while 25% of the doses received have been used, the Ministry of Health recognized this week.
At the national level, the number of new contaminations in 24 hours stood at 26,788 Wednesday evening, while the number of patients in intensive care continues to progress, to 3,637 patients, a high figure but far from the peak of the second wave of the fall, where 4,900 were hospitalized in sheaves.
