We must “remain vigilant” in the face of Covid-19, a virus which “is still circulating” in France, warned Saturday the Minister Delegate Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, the day after the lifting by the World Health Organization (WHO) of the maximum pandemic alert level. “This is good news which should also force us to remain vigilant”, estimated on Franceinfo the Minister Delegate in charge of Territorial Organization and Health Professions, calling in particular on the elderly to continue to be vaccinated and on the rest of the population to “remain vigilant in barrier gestures”.

If “global immunity is almost there”, there are on the other hand “still hospitalizations due to Covid”, recalled the Minister Delegate. “The virus is still circulating,” she insisted.

Agnès Firmin Le Bodo also deplored the adoption Thursday by the National Assembly of a text to repeal the vaccination obligation for caregivers, which the government simply plans to suspend. “If ever a new variant arrives, we need to be able to react quickly. This repeal of the vaccination obligation will prevent us from reacting quickly, ”she said.
