“The virus has not disappeared, the epidemic still attacks, it kills again,” Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne launched on Tuesday in the National Assembly. While hospitals have been warning about the lack of staff for several months and three epidemics – bronchiolitis, flu and Covid-19 – are underway, she calls to “be vigilant together” by respecting barrier gestures.
“I make a solemn appeal: let us respect the barrier gestures. Let’s wear the mask as soon as we are with fragile people or in crowded areas such as public transport, ”she said.
Gestures “decisive to push back the epidemic”
“These are small gestures that save lives, we know that they are decisive in reducing the epidemic”, says Elisabeth Borne.
Remember that “the Covid-19 epidemic is starting again” and that this wave “is added to an epidemic of bronchiolitis – the highest in the last ten years – and a particularly virulent seasonal flu epidemic”.
Several doctors have called in recent days to respect the barrier measures, it is necessary to “resume the habits of social distancing,” the epidemiologist Philippe Amouyel told BFMTV.com. Caregivers want to avoid too much contamination and an overload of hospital services.
