Go see a friend, go to the countryside ... since the announcement of a possible lifting of confinement, some French people allow themselves a little more deviation. However, "we only see the effects of confinement" which must be respected at all costs, warns Odile Launay, infectious disease specialist at Cochin hospital in Paris.

It's hard to resist the temptation to commit small confinement sprains, especially since the announcement of an end date, currently set for May 11. Some therefore allow themselves some relaxation like Marie, who went to one of her friends: "We tried to respect distances and we chatted while drinking coffee for three quarters of an hour," she says. at the microphone of Europe 1, Saturday. 

"I don't feel very guilty"

If she promises to enter the ranks, she nevertheless assumes this deviation from the rules: "Clearly, I know that it should not be done, I know the rules and I know that I take liberties with the rules of containment. But I don’t feel very guilty. In the two weeks that have passed, I went out twice to do my shopping, I don’t go outside every day, I do my sport indoors. everyone can have their own arrangements with confinement. It turns out that this is mine, "relativizes the young woman.

"We only see the effect of confinement now"

But breaking the rules is not without consequences, as recalled by Odile Launay, professor at the University of Paris and infectious disease specialist at the Cochin hospital in Paris who insists on the importance of respecting barrier gestures: "The confinement has been going on for a long time. We understand, therefore, that people find it difficult to stay at home, yet this is extremely important because we only see now the effect of confinement with a decrease in hospitalized people, "he explains. she, specifying, once again, that May 11 will not mark a return to normal: "We will be faced with this infection for probably several more months".
