France's government said Sunday it plans to evacuate around 100 Covid-19 patients from intensive care units in the Paris region this week as hospitals struggle to keep up with a surge in cases. With the transfers, officials hope to avoid a new lockdown for the roughly 12 million people in and around the capital as they race to step up a vaccination drive that got off to a slow start.
It's part of moves to free up capacity in Paris with the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic expected in the coming week.
"Some 90 per cent of the hospitalised patients are not vaccinated," Adrian Marinescu, medical director of the Matei Bals Infectious Diseases Hospital said.
