France quarantine quarantine for landed passengers from Brazil and 4 other countries from Saturday

From Saturday (24), all travelers from Brazil, Argentina, intelligence and South Africa must be quarantined and isolated upon landing in France, as announced by French Undersecretary for European Affairs Bonn.

As the French school unification holiday begins to enter its second week, the battlefield of the new French crown epidemic remains very troubled. According to Le Parisien 20, the total number of patients in intensive care across France is 5,970. The French government is trying to avoid the possible spread of these “variants” of the New Coronavirus, as it did in Brazil.

The Parisian newspaper noted that on Monday (19), the number of people who died from the new coronavirus in France in the first 24 hours was 449. The total number of deaths since the beginning of the outbreak is 101,209. The number of people hospitalized with the new coronavirus is 31,214, of which 5,970 are in intensive care. These figures continue to climb, which also shows that hospitals are still under greater pressure.

To date, nearly 13 million people in France have been vaccinated (at least one dose of the vaccine) against the new coronavirus. In response to the Brazilian variant of the virus, the French government has announced a quarantine control for travelers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and South Africa.

French Undersecretary for European Affairs Bonn noted that “the quarantine and isolation system for the New Coronavirus will take several days to complete, and its legal work has yet to be completed,” adding that “this quarantine measure will also apply to Guyana, which is at greater risk due to its geographical proximity to Brazil. “

Bonn announced on the French news station France Info that the quarantine measure, which has been in place since Saturday, is aimed at passengers arriving in France from Brazil, Argentina, intelligence and South Africa.

Meanwhile, French Health Minister Veyran noted that the outbreak has weakened over the past five days, but the situation is still “fragile” because we are still at a considerable peak of the epidemic.
