On the eve of the toughening of travel rules and the closing of schools, Olivier Véran, justified this Monday, at the 1pm newscast of TF1, these measures by the deterioration of the health situation while "each day, on average, 40,000 French people test positive for coronavirus ”.
If the minister hopes that France will reach the peak of contamination of this third wave in the week, he does not expect a drop in hospitalizations by the end of April.
"There is always a two to three week gap between the peak of contamination and the peak of severe cases," he said.
Even with the entry into force of these new restriction measures, since April 3, "in the next three weeks, whatever happens, the number of patients in intensive care will continue to increase, mechanically", warned Olivier. Véran.
Until reaching 7,000 patients in intensive care as during the peak of the first wave?
The Minister of Health does not rule out this hypothesis.
"We are already at 5,400 patients in intensive care".
On the vaccination side, Olivier Véran announced on Monday that 2 million French people had been vaccinated in one week.
According to him, the country "has no logistics issue, but vaccine delivery," he said on TF1.
He assures that 10 million doses will have been inoculated by mid-April, as planned by the government.
This objective will even be anticipated "by a few days".
Asked about vaccination centers that are idling due to a lack of doses of vaccine against Covid-19, Olivier Véran assured that there was no problem of "logistics", but of delivery.
“We made the choice to vaccinate just in time.
Yes, there are times when there are no more doses in the fridges, ”he said.
