For a few days, he pleaded for a "new confinement, perhaps localized".
The president of the Grand-Est region, Jean Rottner, could not therefore be completely satisfied with the announcements made Tuesday evening by Olivier Véran.
The Minister of Health explained that the executive had "ruled out the idea of confinement" but was considering an "extension of the curfew" in certain territories from January 2.
"Why wait for the 2nd and why not do it now?"
Doesn't that risk causing us to fall behind and therefore see this epidemic pass again and run behind?
», Asked this Wednesday morning on France Info the local elected, who again pleaded for a reconfinement as quickly as possible.
Only the Bas-Rhin exempt?
“I would have actually wished that we could anticipate, take the lead and be able to take advantage of this holiday period when activity is a little less, where children and young people are still at home, where some are still on vacation to be able to achieve a form of brief, effective confinement, and which does not have any major interaction with economic activities, ”said Jean Rottner, an emergency doctor in the civilian sector.
The curfew could be brought forward to 6 p.m. in nine of the ten departments of the Grand-Est.
Only Bas-Rhin, which has an incidence rate of less than 150 positive Covid-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, would be exempt.
