(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) New confirmed cases in France break 100,000 in a single day, officials consider whether to restore mandatory wearing of masks
China News Agency, Paris, December 6 (Reporter Li Yang) The new crown epidemic data released on the 6th showed that the number of new confirmed cases in France in a single day exceeded 100,000 again.
French officials are now considering whether to restore mandatory wearing of masks.
According to the data of the day, France added 105,516 new confirmed cases of new crown in a single day on the 6th, with a total of 38,084,081 confirmed cases; a total of 159,362 deaths, and 117 new deaths.
The average number of confirmed cases in a single day in France has now risen to nearly 58,000, an increase of 21% in the last week; the average positive rate of the new crown test in the latest week is 28%.
French Minister of Health Braun confirmed in the French National Assembly that day that a number of epidemic data indicators show that the new round of epidemics is still continuing to rebound.
Due to the continuous rebound of the new round of epidemics, French officials are considering whether to restore the mandatory wearing of masks, especially in confined spaces such as public transportation.
On the 6th, Braun once again emphasized that people should wear masks in crowded places to protect themselves and others.
The senior government officials who attended the National Assembly that day also wore masks, but many members of the National Assembly did not wear masks, which shows that the French political circles have different attitudes towards the need to wear masks during the current epidemic.
French Prime Minister Borne said that social distancing should continue and masks should be worn in front of vulnerable people or in crowded places, such as on public transport.
Regarding whether to restore the mandatory wearing of masks, the official still has no clear deployment.
On the issue, Braun said options were on the table and he would make a decision if the virus continued to spread.
Many French health experts have called for the resumption of mandatory wearing of masks. French public opinion believes that this is aimed at putting pressure on the political circles.
Some immunologists publicly stated that masks should be worn as much as possible in confined spaces, and wearing masks should not be attributed to "personal responsibility".
When talking about vaccination on the 6th, Braun said that the new crown vaccine is still a powerful weapon against the virus, but he once again pointed out that the results of this fall's vaccination campaign were not as good as expected; in addition, the flu vaccination situation is also worse than last year.
