Too permissive re-containment

According to him, the re-containment would not be effective enough because of the schools left open, as well as public services and the maintenance of visits to nursing homes.

These are the main differences with the confinement of this spring. 

With the measures currently in place, Jérôme Salomon warns: "it does not seem possible to obtain a reproduction rate of the virus at 0.7, as in April, but rather at 0.9."

Concretely, the inflection of the curve of the virus in France will be slower with "a high and prolonged plateau".
