The Head of State will speak on Wednesday October 14 to ask the French for a real change in behavior and undoubtedly announce new measures to fight the pandemic.
More than 1,500 intensive care patients, a figure close to that of March 21.
Proof that the health situation worries in higher places, the Defense Council which was to be held Wednesday morning was brought forward to this Tuesday, October 13.
A council behind closed doors, which aims to establish the new government strategy to cope with the rebound of the epidemic.

Emmanuel Macron should therefore call for a “citizen burst” when the state does not have the legal power to control households.
Update on the evolution of the epidemic and the measures to be taken with Renaud Piarroux, professor of medicine and head of department at Pitié-Salpêtrière, specialist in epidemic management.
