The other hypothesis is that”we sit on a form of tray, at a more or less high level, as we had known for a while with [le variant] Delta“.

“We test a lot in our country, we also screen a lot, so it takes a little longer, compared to the previous variants that we have known, to be able to say whether or not we are at the peak.“, he developed.

“What is certain is that the Omicron variant has already circulated a lot, and that if we follow the curves observed in certain countries which precede us in terms of epidemic with the variant Omicron, we might expect to be at some peak shape soon“, he said.”Is it a peak, or is it a plateau? I can’t tell you today“, he insisted.

Moreover, the Delta variant “clearly seems to be decreasing now which is good news“, added Olivier Véran.”We talked about it a lot less [ces derniers temps]“, he underlined, because”he caused less contamination but it is he who sends patients in intensive care to our hospitals and who makes the most serious cases“.
