France delays some regional unwinding of Covid restrictions over fourth wave concerns | Malay Mail

PARIS, July 1 — France decided on Wednesday to delay the unwinding of Covid-19 restrictions in a southwestern region of the country, while the government’s leading scientific adviser said a fourth wave of the virus was likely to the emergence of the Delta variant.

French government spokesman Gabriel Attal said the high presence of the Delta variant in the Landes region of southwest France meant France would delay until July 6 an unwinding of Covid restrictions set up in that area. “We do not want to take the risk of having a re-start of the epidemic. This means the easing of restrictive measures taking place today at a national level is delayed in Les Landes to at least July 6,” said Attal.

Professor Jean-François Delfraissy, the French government’s leading scientific adviser, said earlier that the spread of the Delta variant meant France would likely have a fourth Covid wave — albeit one less severe than the previous three waves.
