Nearly 4,000 Covid-19 patients in intensive care, patients evacuated from certain regions to avoid the saturation of hospitals: the health crisis is far from over in France despite the protection promised by the vaccination campaign.

"A certain number of medical evacuations" must take place "in the coming days", in order to transfer patients to other regions, government spokesman Gabriel Attal announced on Wednesday, after a health defense council and the Council of Ministers.
