The head of the government’s virus advisory body expressed surprise at the „brutality“ of the rise in cases.
Virus patients now occupy more than half of France’s intensive care units, and some doctors are urging tougher restrictions after another record jump in confirmed infections. Dr. Jean-Francois Delfraissy, head of the government’s virus advisory body, expressed surprise Monday at the „brutality“ of the rise, after a record 52,010 new cases were reported Sunday. Speaking on RTL radio, he floated the idea of local lockdowns or extending France’s 9p.
