"We're in a risky situation," Olivier Veran said in an interview with France's Journal Du Dimanche published on Sunday, adding that the higher number of cases being detected was not solely down to more testing.Like President Emmanuel Macron, Veran ruled out the need for another total lockdown to combat the spread of the disease. But he said localised measures could be taken as cases grow in France and elsewhere.
In many cases, younger carriers of the virus were asymptomatic or suffered fewer complications, Veran said. Police in Paris are gearing up for possible soccer celebrations on Sunday night as Paris St Germain takes on Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, and officials said they would enforce mask wearing and distribute protective gear in sites like the Champs Elysee avenue.
