The last seven-day increase is three times the average increase in cases recorded in the previous three weeks, with an exponential acceleration of infections. “There is a very strong increase in infections, but we also know that in France we have coverage very broad vaccination – said Attal -. It seems that we are ahead of our neighbors in terms of boosters “.
The Paris government spokesman also pointed out how France’s introduction of a health pass in the summer before other countries helped keep Covid under control.
