To cope with the rise in coronavirus contaminations due to the Delta variant, the scientific council recommends compulsory vaccination of caregivers.

He is also in favor of new restrictions on the most affected geographic areas as of this summer. 

The scientific council, which guides the French government during the Covid-19 pandemic, recommends "an obligatory vaccination for caregivers" among the measures to cope with the rapid progression of the Delta variant.

In a new opinion published on Friday, the council is also in favor of a lowering of the gauge (currently set at 1,000 people) for events subject to a health pass (vaccination or negative test) and to "partial measures of restrictions" in the most affected geographic areas, "including July and August".
