According to a report from Agence France-Presse on the 9th local time, the chairman of the French Scientific Committee for the Response to New Coronary Pneumonia and an immunologist, Delfresi, told the media that the current epidemic in France is worrying, and the French government must make some decisions within the next 8 to 10 days. Difficult decision to control the epidemic.
Delfresi said that although the current accelerated spread of the new crown virus in France has not yet caused real pressure on the medical system, there is no room for blind optimism.
Some mathematical modeling has shown that in the next few weeks, parts of France, especially the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) region in the south, may have a shortage of critically ill beds.
Delfresi therefore suggested strengthening the protection of the elderly and vulnerable groups, and at the same time adopting more compulsory measures for the infected and close contacts in some areas during the isolation period.
It is understood that the French government will hold another special defense meeting on the 11th, or will introduce new prevention and control measures.
