The emergence of the P1 mutant virus has added to the new crown outbreak in Brazil. Can the existing vaccine prevent the Brazilian virus? In answer to a question in Parliament on the 13th, French Prime Minister Castel said that as of the 14th, France has decided to suspend all flights to and from Brazil. The decision is a two-way flight ban, which means that all flights from Brazil to France or from France to Brazil will be suspended. The resumption of flights will be announced.
When asked by a member of parliament what to do with French nationals who want to return from Brazil? Castell simply replied: the situation is very serious. On April 12, when a journalist asked French Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari if French nationals returning from Brazil could enter the country, the Minister replied: “The French Supreme Administrative Court (Le Conseil d’État) has not yet decided to suspend flights to Brazil. The Conseil d’État has ruled that French citizens no longer need motifs impérieux to return to their country.
The decision made by Prime Minister Castel on the 13th overturned the statement made by the Minister of Transport the day before. The French domestic news station said: “The death toll in Brazil is more than 3000 per day since the mutated virus. Rémi Salomon, president of the public medical committee of Paris hospitals, warned that it is extremely contagious and dangerous, and resistant to vaccines. He added that it could well bring a fourth wave of the epidemic to France if immediate precautions are not taken.
According to the news reported by the 24/7 television station BFMTV 13, French President Macron is preparing a televised speech in France at the end of April to explain the steps to lift the ban.
