New Covid-19 restrictions only delaying the inevitable, say French health experts

New Covid-19 restrictions ‘only delaying the inevitable,’ say French health experts France 24 31/01/2021 Romain HOUEIX © Geoffroy Van Der Hasselt, AFP French Prime Minister Jean Castex announced Friday that France will bar travel to and from non-EU countries and close large shopping centres in a bid to avoid a third Covid-19 lockdown. For some French epidemiologists, the new restrictions won’t be enough to flatten the curve. “Our duty is to do all we can to avoid another lockdown,” Castex said in a televised address that laid out new measures to stem the latest wave of French Covid-19 cases. But the government’s surprise decision to not put the country in lockdown has drawn criticism from some of the country’s health professionals. 

News Analysis: Doses shortfall, delivery delay cast doubt over France s vaccination rollout

PARIS, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) With its gradual vaccination, France is racing to counter a resurgence in COVID-19 infections fuelled by more infectious variants, although many fear that doses shortfall and delivery delay may throw a spanner into the government s vaccination rollout. When launching its vaccination campaign on Dec. 27 as part of a coordinated European plan, France opted for a gradual and free rollout, prioritizing elderly and vulnerable people to avoid a surge in serious cases and deaths. Up to 1.4 million are set to have the first shot by the end of January, then the campaign would extend to nearly half of the 67 million inhabitants by the end of May and inoculate the total population by late August.
