The coronavirus epidemic has started to decline in France and the easing of restrictions continues.

In other words, “ the epidemic (…) is gaining ground again »In these territories. He also detailed, during this press point, that “ This unfavorable development is particularly marked in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, where the incidence has increased by nearly 80% over one week. It is to a lesser extent in Charente-Maritime, Charente, Lot-et-Garonne, Landes and Gironde “.
Although the virus circulates moderately in these two regions, ” it is the dynamic of progression that constitutes a warning signal “.
The spokesperson estimated that “ the risk would be to lift the measures too quickly, to relax too quickly “. Also, barrier gestures must continue to be applied, even after a first injection of the vaccine, because he recalls that “ one dose does not provide complete protection “.
