The first perceptible effects of confinement, but not yet very favorable, indicated Gabriel Attal on leaving the Health Defense Council and the Council of Ministers.
"We could be at the peak of the epidemic or close to it" indicated the government spokesperson, who warned that "the epidemic is receding half as much as in the fall".
India has been added to the list of countries for which France requires quarantine of travelers upon their arrival in France, added Gabriel Attal.
Vaccination level, the spokesperson also indicated that 2.5 million doses were injected during the past week.
As every Wednesday morning, Emmanuel Macron convened a Health Defense Council.
The executive was to take the opportunity to talk about the end of the school holidays, the dates of which the government has unified.
Primary school students must return to class on April 26, middle school and high school students will be waiting for them on May 3.
The Council met on Wednesday in a much more favorable health context.
The Covid-19 epidemic seems to be on a downward slope in France and if the current rhythm of vaccinations continues, the executive will be able to reach its goal of 20 million vaccinated with at least one dose by mid-May.
However, the situation is still too fragile to quickly relax the restrictions.
“Hospital pressure remains extremely strong,” warned Gabriel Attal.
