The government believes that there are “reasons to hope” that “at the end of March-beginning of April we will be able to lift the vaccination pass”, due to the improvement in the health situation, spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Wednesday. .

On the contamination front, “the frank drop, we are there”, added Gabriel Attal.

“The level of people hospitalized remains very high, higher than the record we had seen in the spring of 2020, but in the projections we are making (…), there are reasons to hope that at this time horizon the situation will improve. will be improved enough for us to be able to lift these final measures,” he added.

The incidence rate must be 10 or 20 times lower

The president of the Vaccine Strategy Orientation Council Alain Fischer had a little earlier, during a hearing in the Senate, estimated that a lifting of the vaccine pass was possible "by the end of March" at the beginning of "April" if a series of conditions were met.

Release of the #passvaccinal: "We need a reduced incidence rate (10 or 20 times less than today) and that the hospital overload has disappeared. It can go quite quickly, we should get there by the end of March- At the beginning of April."

“From a scientific and medical point of view, we need a reduced incidence rate, we are at 2,500.

Reduced means significantly less, at least 10 or 20 times less, but there are elements of context, giving you a figure would not make sense, ”he said.

Less stress in the hospital

He also spoke of the need for “the current hospital overload to have disappeared, for hospitals to return to a normal state of operation and for non-Covid patients to be treated without delay, without delay”.

There also needs to be “high booster vaccination coverage,” he said.

The government's "Mister vaccines" stressed that the foresight exercise was "fragile ground", but according to him "it can go quite quickly", because the incidence decreases "rather quickly".

Gabriel Attal agreed, indicating that the vaccine pass would be lifted "as soon as there is a normalization of the situation in the hospital, that is to say that there will no longer be a hospital under very strong tension due to the Covid”.

Relax the protocol at school

Regarding the school, “there will be announcements by the end of the week, I hope from Friday”, on “the protocol which will have been retained” and “will apply from the start of the first zone “, Zone B, which will return from vacation on February 21, he said after the Council of Ministers.

During meetings with representatives of parents and students, the government "wants to move forward in three directions", affirmed Gabriel Attal: first "to make more flexible" the level of the protocol which is today at level 3 out of 4, to move forward on the question of the wearing of masks by children, as well as on “the testing policy”.
