Original Title: (Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) France introduced a number of new epidemic prevention measures to curb the spread of Omi Keron strain
A number of new epidemic prevention measures were launched on the 27th local official time in France, aimed at curbing the spread of the Omi Keron strain of the new crown mutant virus.
French Prime Minister Castel held a press conference that night to announce the details of the new epidemic prevention measures. He announced the resumption of remote office measures, and the company must ensure that employees work remotely at least 3 days a week. He also announced restrictions on the number of large-scale gatherings. The number of indoor gatherings should not exceed 2,000 and the number of outdoor gatherings should not exceed 5,000.
Castel said that from January 3 next year, customers can only sit and receive catering services in bars and cafes, not standing. He added that if relevant decisions lead to economic impacts, French Minister of Economy and Finance Le Maire will study corresponding compensation measures.
Castel also announced that the quarantine period for people infected with the Omi Keron strain will be announced later this week. French officials have planned to extend the number of days of quarantine for people infected with the Omi Keron strain to slow the spread of the strain.
Castel confirmed that France will continue to speed up the third dose of the new crown vaccine, shortening the interval between the third dose and the second dose from the current 4 months to 3 months. He revealed that the bill related to the vaccine pass was discussed and passed by the government meeting on the same day and will be submitted to the parliament for deliberation. It is expected to take effect on January 15 next year to replace the current health pass.
In addition, Castel said that there will be no curfew measures on New Year’s Eve; school holidays will not be extended, and the school start time will remain unchanged, which will still be January 3 next year, but the school will increase the detection of the new crown virus.
Castel pointed out that the epidemic situation in France is very tense. According to official data, France added 30,383 confirmed cases in a single day on the 27th, with a total of 9,164,451 confirmed cases. The cumulative number of deaths in France is now 122,898, with 256 new deaths. The number of hospitalized patients with the new crown in France is now 16,921, and the number of severely ill patients is now 3333.
The incidence of new crowns across France has now risen to 760 infected persons per 100,000 inhabitants. The incidence of young people aged 20 to 29 and 30 to 39 is still rising. The positive rate of COVID-19 testing across France has risen to 8.2%. (Reporter Li Yang)
