French health minister Olivier Veran would favour a region-by-region easing of lockdown measures set up to tackle the Covid-19 virus, he told regional paper Le Telegramme in an interview.
Veran added that while there were signs that the latest surge in Covid-19 in France was starting to ease off a little, the virus was still circulating at a high level.
President Emmanuel Macron's government is hoping that an acceleration of its vaccination campaign, combined with the one-month national lockdown in place since end-March, will help it regain control over the latest outbreak of the virus, Reuters reported.
