  • Wide Angle Emmanuel Macron, a bold leader who reinvents himself forced by Covid-19

The Government of Emmanuel Macron has not yet decided whether France will move to a third blockade to curb the coronavirus epidemic and, in particular, the circulation of new variants of the virus, French Minister for European Affairs

Clement Beaune

said on Monday

.

"Nothing has been decided yet. There are scenarios (on the table) but a decision has not been made yet," Beaune told Radio Classique when asked if a closure could be announced this week.

France will probably need to move to a third lockdown, perhaps ahead of the February school holidays, due to the circulation of the new variants, the government's top medical adviser,

Jean-Francois Delfraissy

, said yesterday

.

The situation of the coronavirus in France is worrying, the head of the health regulator of the Haute Autorite de Sante (HAS),

Dominique Le Guludec

, has warned this Monday on radio France Inter

, who however added that he is aware of the economic damages that they entail the lockdown, Reuters reported.

France registers the seventh highest number of deaths from Covid in the world, with more than

73,000 deaths.

"It is a worrying moment. We are looking at the numbers, day by day.

We need to take action fairly quickly,

but at the same time not too hastily," Le Guludec warned.

The country is currently under

a nationwide curfew

from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus, but the average number of new infections has risen from 18,000 a day to more than 20,000.

Infections in the country since the start of the epidemic in March have now reached 3,053,617, according to figures from health authorities.

With 11,155 new hospital admissions in the last week, hospitalizations continue to increase and already exceed 26,000 throughout the country, with

2,955 patients in ICUs

.

The positivity rate is 7.1% of the tests.

Since the start of the campaign, on December 27, 1,026,871 people have been vaccinated in France, which exceeded one million this Saturday.
