🔷🔷🔷
The situation is getting worse again almost everywhere.
▫️Where do these bad figures from the last few days come from, which have been hindering a very encouraging dynamic for several weeks now? “With the reopening of the shops, we’ve recreated flows,” the president of the French Hospital Federation (FHF), Frédéric Valletoux, noted yesterday morning on BFMTV.
▫️In any case, among our German neighbours, we no longer ask ourselves any questions. German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed on Wednesday that Germany’s coronavirus partial lockdown will not be lifted until December 20 at the earliest, and may be extended until the beginning of January.
“We have two messages for the people: firstly, thank you, but secondly, that the current restrictions will not be lifted,” Merkel said in a press conference.
“The exponential rise in infections is broken,” the chancellor said. “But the daily cases are still far too high, and our intensive care stations are still very full. We cannot lift the restrictions agreed for November.”
Certain additional restrictions are introduced, but there will be a brief amnesty over Christmas. However, restaurants and bars will be required to stay closed over the holiday period.
Extra restrictions include the wearing of masks in some situations in schools and the limit for meetings reduced from 10 people to five people from two households. Travel for holidays, in particular ski vacations, are strongly discouraged until at least January 10.

Be very cautious with your Christmas & Year End plans!
