The Omicron variant runs in France, where today there is a national and European record of 208,000 new Covid infections in the last 24 hours. Health Minister Olivier Véran said this, anticipating data from the French health ministry during a hearing at the National Assembly. “More than two French people become positive per second”, Veran underlined, adding that “with Omicron it is no longer a wave but a tsunami”.
One million people in France are currently believed to be infected, while around 10% of French people are now cases of contact with a person who has tested positive. Véran, presenting the government bill to transform the health pass into a vaccination pass, also said that 70% of patients currently hospitalized in Paris did not receive the vaccine and called the bill “balanced, proportionate to the mail in game of a fifth wave “.
