50,000 new positives every week, almost 10,000 in the last 24 hours alone, and France is preparing for a new crackdown. Masks on the street and social distancing are no longer enough, the first phase of what should have been “living with the virus” is proving more difficult than expected. For 10 days, the reopening of schools has complicated the situation.
The health authorities have closed 32, plus 524 distance learning classrooms. But all parents know cases of positivity that are multiplying, especially in secondary schools, and the concern increases. A phenomenon that has broken out in recent days is the wave of trivial colds, sometimes with some line of fever, which, like every year, afflicts many children on their way back to school.
The French government announced last night that parents who are forced to stay home because their children cannot go to school will be entitled to dismissal for days of absence. From the Defense Council, the government in restricted formation received at the Elysee, a new behavior grip is expected tomorrow. The president of the Scientific Council, Jean-François Delfraissy, yesterday anticipated “difficult decisions” but indispensable for the executive. Today President Emmanuel Macron has tried not to stir up more spirits, confirming important decisions but “at the local level” and above all “without giving in to any form of panic.” “We have to look at the next few weeks,” explained Macron, “trying to adapt to the evolution of the virus, trying to stop its circulation with health rules and the organization of social life.” “We must do it – he continued – allowing us to continue living, educating our children, caring for other patients and other pathologies, having an economic and social life.”
