China News Agency, Paris, November 19 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 18th local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 7.35 million. French President Macron said on the same day that there is no need for France to “block” people who have not been vaccinated against the new crown.
According to official French data, there were 20,366 newly confirmed cases in a single day in France on the 18th, and the total number of confirmed cases exceeded 7.35 million, which was 7351324. The cumulative number of deaths in France is now 118,373, with 57 new deaths. The number of inpatients and critically ill patients with the new crown in France continues to increase. Among them, the number of hospitalized patients is now 7,787 and the number of critically ill patients is 1,333.
French President Macron expressed his stance on how to deal with the epidemic on the 18th. He said that there is no need for France to “block” people who have not received the new crown vaccine. He pointed out that countries that have “banned” people who have not received the new crown vaccine have not implemented measures related to health passes. He believes that the health pass measures can protect the French from facing measures like those taken by Austria.
Austrian officials announced on the 14th that they would implement “blocking” measures on those who have not received the new crown vaccine from the 15th in response to a new wave of epidemics. Austrian media said that about 2 million of the Austrian population of 8.9 million will be affected by the “ban” measures.
Macron expressed regret that those eligible for vaccination are still hesitant and unwilling to get vaccinated. He said that everyone should actively vaccinate and ask the public to help the authorities convince those who still do not want to be vaccinated.
Macron also said that it does not rule out expanding the scope of the third dose of the new crown vaccine to all French people. He revealed that whether to expand the scope of the third dose of vaccination, the official is still waiting for the advice of the health supervision department. He said that the third dose of vaccine has been proved to be beneficial to the elderly and people with low immune function. If the third dose of vaccine is proved to be effective and necessary for other populations, the relevant vaccination process will be carried out.
Official French data show that 51.63 million people in France have received at least one dose of vaccine, accounting for 76.6% of the French population; 50.55 million people have completed two doses, accounting for about 75% of the French population.
