The US State Department advised Americans on Monday August 9 to avoid any travel to France due to the health situation "indicating a very high level of Covid-19 in the country".
The authorities have issued a "level 4: do not travel" advice for France, based on a warning from the centers for disease prevention and control (CDC).
The main US health agency has advised against travel to France and urged anyone traveling there to "be fully vaccinated before traveling."
The health pass entered into force on Monday in the daily life of the French, as the country faces a fourth wave of Covid-19 cases.
The number of hospitalized patients continues to increase in the country, which has recorded since the start of the pandemic more than 111,000 deaths and 6 million cases.
The number of daily contaminations again stands at around 20,000, however the number of deaths remains low compared to previous peaks of the pandemic.
According to Public Health France, 44,980,791 people have received at least one injection (ie 66.7% of the total population) and 37,514,388 people now have a complete vaccination schedule (ie 55.6% of the total population).
