Coronavirus infections are spreading rapidly in Europe, with the highest number of people infected per day in France and Italy.
The French government has announced a policy to shorten the quarantine period required for people who have been confirmed to be infected in order to prevent the effects of a shortage of personnel to support public services such as transportation.
Infection with the new coronavirus is spreading rapidly in Europe, with 91,608 people infected daily in France and 44,595 people in Italy on the 23rd, both of which are the highest ever.
"Like other countries, France is infected with the highly infectious mutant virus Omicron strain, and the number of infected people is doubling every two days," said France's Health Minister Belan. The number of people is expected to exceed 100,000.
In addition, people who are currently confirmed to be infected are concerned that there will be a shortage of personnel in the sector of public services such as public transportation and medical care due to a series of people being quarantined due to the spread of the infection at an extremely fast pace. He also revealed that he is considering shortening the 10-day quarantine period required by the government.
Regarding the quarantine period, the UK, which is also experiencing a rapid spread of infection, has announced a policy to reduce the current 10 days to a minimum of 7 days to avoid a shortage of personnel.
