Omicron variant, “probably already in France”

“Since the” Omicron variant of the covid “is circulating from our neighbors, it is likely that it is already in circulation with us.” This was declared by the French Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, quoted by Bfmtv. However, “this does not change the cards on the table” of health policy, the minister added. “We may fear that the variant is at least as contagious as the Delta”, but gray areas remain: “All researchers are working to establish whether the variant has elements that should worry us. When in doubt we act as if it were a dangerous variant “.
