PARIS (Reuters) – The COVID-19 situation in France will likely be “very tough” in the coming months, especially March, due to the emergence of a more contagious variant, the head of infectious diseases at Paris’ Saint Antoine hospital said on Wednesday.
Karine Lacombe told BFM TV that more restrictive measures than the current national 6 p.m. curfew would likely be necessary in certain areas to contain the disease.
