French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Wednesday the current rebound of daily new Covid-19 infections should peak by the end of the month, adding France had been right to lift most restrictions put in place to contain the pandemic.
The French government announced new Covid-19 containment measures on Thursday as the infection rate surges nationwide. The government wants to avoid major curbs on public life, preferring to strengthen social distancing rules and speeding up its vaccination booster campaign.
The Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus first found in India - which experts deem more infectious than other variants - currently represents 9-10% of confirmed new COVID cases in France, said government spokesman Gabriel Attal on Wednesday.
