Nearly 25,140 people demonstrated this Saturday in France against the health pass for the 16th consecutive weekend of mobilization, according to the Ministry of the Interior, a participation figure in marked decline compared to last week.

The ministry recorded 168 actions throughout the territory, with 3,320 demonstrators in Paris where four processions had been declared at the police headquarters.

The Interior Ministry counted 40,090 demonstrators last Saturday, including 5,090 in Paris.

They were more than 73,130 according to the militant collective Le Nombre Jaune, which subsequently publishes its own count.

The mobilization, launched in mid-July, has been declining steadily since August 7 and a peak of 237,000 demonstrators recorded, according to figures from the authorities.

The health pass extended until February 28?

The Senate, dominated by the right-wing opposition, reduced Thursday from July 31 to February 28, 2022 the deadline for extending the braking measures, including the health pass, against the Covid-19 epidemic. The National Assembly will be able to reconsider the modifications introduced by the senators in the wake of the parliamentary shuttle. In addition, the Council of State validated on Friday the end of free access since October 15 for “comfort” tests to detect Covid-19, rejecting several requests.

As everywhere in Europe, the epidemic is experiencing a rebound in France at the start of the cold season. With 55 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the incidence rate (proportion of new cases in the population) was sharply increasing during the week of October 18 and exceeded the alert threshold of 50, according to the latest figures. of Public Health France published Friday. On average, 5,276 daily cases were diagnosed that week.

This is reflected in the increase in the number of new hospitalizations (1,281, + 2%), with a higher increase in new critical care admissions (346, + 12%).

Currently, some 6,500 Covid-19 patients are hospitalized, including a little more than 1,000 in critical care, reserved for the most serious cases.

The coronavirus epidemic has killed more than 117,000 people in France, where more than 51 million people have received at least one injection of the vaccine.
