"Now we know what we consume of masks, respirators, curare, drugs". "We will be ready.

"Confinement has revealed inequalities". As for the possibility of a reconfiguration, the President was unequivocal: "We took the most radical, hardest measure, which was confinement, and also the most basic, with lots of consequences. Being confined in a house, when you have a garden, it's not the same as being confined in a multi-family apartment. Being confined in a house where there is no Internet, it's not the same as being connected constantly. And so confinement has been an indicator of inequality. I don't want it again for the country and so we are doing everything to avoid a new wave and to have a differentiated approach if it appears, with the masks, the tests. And then, if a new wave arrives, isolate as locally as possible and therefore as quickly as possible. This is why we have to test. "
