Doctors from the French public hospital organization (AP-HP) said Tuesday that 10% of the confirmed cases of new coronavirus in the greater Paris area over the past two weeks are from the British variant, signaling the next “very clear” wave of new cases of new coronavirus infections. Specialist Professor Leo insisted that the “curfew” is not enough, and that the spread must be stopped with a swift and vigorous drug. Otherwise, the hospital will face a major explosion of patients with new coronavirus alarming crisis.
Professor Anne-Geneviève Marcelin, a virologist at La Pitié-Salpêtrière, a public hospital in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, pointed out in a press conference that the analysis of the virus strains in the eight screening laboratories in the greater Paris area from January 11 to 21 for 1080 PCR-positive cases showed that 9.4% of the cases She added that “caution should be exercised. “These test results should be treated with caution,” she added, but it also confirmed “the trend toward an increase in cases of this Variant virus.” The results of the first national “rapid survey” of more than 10,000 positive PCR tests conducted on January 7 and 8 observed a nationwide rate of 2.5%. A second such national rapid survey will begin this Wednesday.

At the beginning of March, it will be between 12 and 64 percent.

He said that with the British strain being “40 to 60 percent more infectious,” he expects that “when this mutant virus comes to the fore, infections will increase dramatically.” All the indicator numbers have now turned red: the number of ambulance calls (Samu), the number of people sent to emergency rooms, the number of hospitalizations, the number of admissions to intensive care wards …… He warned, “We started with high numbers, then now the pace is accelerating.
