France’s single-day diagnosis exceeded 200,000 cases for the fourth consecutive day, and the number of newly diagnosed cases in England reached a record high for 5 consecutive days. France has reinstated public transportation and all public places must wear masks. The British Health Service analyzed that the hospitalization risk of Omi Keron is one third of Delta, and the hospitalization risk of patients receiving 3 doses of the vaccine will be reduced by 81%.
Agence France-Presse reported that the French Ministry of Health announced on Saturday night that France had newly confirmed 219,126 cases in the last 24 hours. This is the fourth consecutive day that the number of new confirmed cases exceeded 200,000 in a single day. The number of severely ill patients increased by 17 to 3560, and 110 new deaths were reported. The number of newly diagnosed people on Saturday was the second highest in history, second only to the record of 232,200 confirmed diagnoses set the day before. French President Macron said on Friday that due to the recent surge in the number of infections, the next few weeks are bound to be difficult.
According to a decree published on the official website on Saturday, masks must be worn on public transportation and public places starting from Monday. This decree concerns everyone over 6 years of age.
French Prime Minister Caste also declared that from Monday to January 23, restaurants and pubs will not be able to accommodate consumers without seats. Until January 23, the same ban will also apply to indoor sports venues (2,000 seats), outdoor venues (5,000 seats) and projection halls, which can accommodate up to 2,000 people indoors. These places will prohibit the sale and consumption of food and beverages.
Castel also announced that it will “prohibit the consumption of food and beverages in public transportation, including long-distance transportation.” A spokesperson for the French train transport company said, “Every week, except for high-speed trains such as Eurostar, it is not allowed to take off the mask to eat or drink on any train.”
In addition, more than 160,000 new cases have been diagnosed in England and England, and the medical system is facing greater pressure.
More than 162,000 new cases were confirmed in England, a record high for 5 consecutive days. Hopson, chief executive of the Service Providers Organization of the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, said that as the number of hospital admissions in England continues to rise, the situation in the next few days is critical. He warned the government to prepare for the timely introduction of new restrictions. He said that compared to January last year, medical staff are under greater pressure because they have to deal with more treatment plans and booster vaccination, and the absence of medical staff also has a major impact. British Health Secretary Javid said that due to the time difference between infection and hospitalization, it is believed that the number of people who need hospitalization will rise sharply next month.
Italy, another severely affected European country, has newly diagnosed 141,000 cases, slightly lower than the more than 144,000 cases announced the day before, with a total of more than 6.26 million confirmed cases.
According to the analysis of more than 1 million cases in the United Kingdom in recent weeks, the risk of hospitalization for patients infected with the Omicron variant of Omicron is about 1/3 of that of patients infected with the Delta variant.
The UK has recently seen a surge in confirmed cases due to the highly contagious Omi Keron variant virus, but the government stated that they believe Omi Keron should be more “moderate” than Delta.
Throughout December, the number of patients requiring ventilator-assisted beds has also remained stable, unlike the surge in patients at the peak of the front wave epidemic.
The British Health and Safety Agency, assisted by the Biostatistics Department of the Medical Research Council of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, announced the results.
This study also found that the vaccine is very effective against Omi Keron.
The British Health and Safety Agency said: Analysis shows that after the second and third doses of the vaccine, regardless of symptoms, the risk of hospitalization for Omi Keron patients will be reduced. Compared with unvaccinated Omicron patients, the risk of hospitalization for patients receiving 3 doses of the vaccine was reduced by 81%.
Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser to the Health Security Agency, said that this analysis is consistent with other encouraging messages, but health services may still have to work hard to combat such a high transmission rate.
Hopkins said that in terms of hospital severity, it is still too early to make a conclusion, and that Omicron’s spreading power has increased, the number of cases in the population over 60 in England has risen, which means that Omicron is still very likely to be against the United Kingdom in the next few weeks. The National Health Service (NHS) is under significant pressure.
