Turn around.
The Minister of Health Brigitte Bourguignon “Asks the French to put the mask back on transport”, out of good citizenship, in the face of the rise in cases of Covid-19, she pleaded Monday on RTL radio.
The Minister spoke of the "citizen duty", consisting in "protecting oneself, in the face of a very transmissible variant", but also in "protecting others and in particular the most fragile" in confined places.
All without “going as far as the obligation” to wear a mask.
Contaminations on the rise
France, like the European countries, is faced with a resurgence of contamination, in particular with the BA.5 variant.
Bourguignon had already called on “citizen responsibility” last Thursday to deal with it.
She also reiterated her call for a new vaccination booster with the fourth dose for certain categories of the population.
"I'm calling for people who haven't used it to do it very quickly," she said, citing people over 60 and immunocompromised people.
A fourth dose to come?
Pr. Alain Fischer, president of the council of orientation of the vaccine strategy, called Sunday these people to be made administer their second booster shot.
In this regard, Bourguignon indicated that we “will probably come” to a fourth dose of vaccine for all.
The minister, who should leave her post with the announcement of a new government, is waiting for "probably Thursday" the handover of the mission on emergency services entrusted to the president of the association Samu-Urgences de France, François Braun .
There will then be “measures that we take for the summer, which will be announced next week I think and more permanent measures afterwards because we have to work with the territories”, she said.
