A few hours before a new Health Defense Council, the former socialist minister, Ségolène Royal, on Tuesday called on the government to "tailor-make" for the regions more affected by the Covid-19 epidemic.

"The real criterion is the hospital capacity", and "it varies from one region to another, so let's tailor it to the most affected regions", she pleaded on Cnews, in considering that as long as this capacity "is not saturated, there is no reason to strike again on the head of the French".

A third confinement must be "absolutely avoided", according to Ségolène Royal

It thus considered that having taken "homogeneous decisions on the whole of the territory" is part of "the errors of the past" committed by the government which have contributed to fueling "the doubts" of the French on the merits of the decisions and their "suspicion" of the vaccine today.

The former socialist presidential candidate called for "absolutely avoiding" a third confinement, which "would be a very, very big problem, not only economic but also psychological, educational, cultural".

"Organize the company" in "rotation" for LFI

LFI deputy Eric Coquerel echoed this and estimated on LCI that it was impossible to "press the containment button", "indefinitely".

"The problem" is "to avoid" exceeding "the capacity of hospitals": "If since last March, we had put the means (...) to at least try to fix things, we might not be. not be there, ”he said.

He advocated two other solutions: giving patients "the material conditions" of isolation and "organizing society" in "rotation", "so that people do not all go to work at the same time".

Still on the left, the national secretary of the PCF Fabien Roussel called on France 2, "before talking about confinement", to "hire 50,000 to 60,000 people to support all those who have tested positive" for Covid-19 and who must be "Follow-ups".
