France could soon have around 100,000 new Covid-19 cases a day, health minister Olivier Veran said today, up from around 70,000 currently as the country battles a fifth wave of the epidemic, according to Reuters.
The Omicron variant will be the dominant strain of Covid in France by early January, Veran told BFM TV.
Veran said no new restrictions were on the table for now, although nothing could be ruled out, with authorities hoping an increase in the numbers of people having vaccinations will allow them to keep the virus in check.
