France tightens restrictions as Omicron Covid variant continues to surge – BBC News

On Tuesday 28 December, France reported Europe’s highest ever number of daily Covid cases.

French Health Minister Olivier Véran warned that “everything suggests” France could see as many as 250,000 daily cases by the start of January.

The French Hospital Federation has said that the “most difficult weeks are yet to come”.

From 3 January, remote working will become compulsory for those who can and public gatherings will be limited to 2,000 people for indoor events.

French Prime Minister Jean Castex told reporters the pandemic felt “like a film without an ending” as he unveiled the new measures at a news conference following a crisis cabinet meeting.
