French President Emmanuel Macron canceled an upcoming trip to Mali to visit French troops due to the deteriorating epidemiological situation in France over the spread of Omicron.
According to the president’s office, the decision was taken to maintain “coherence” between national measures and Macron’s international agenda, and in order “not to expose troops.”
With France currently grappling with its fifth Covid-19 wave, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced a new push on Friday to extend the national vaccination campaign, saying that people would have to show proof of vaccination to enter certain venues.
Castex also canceled a trip planned to visit French troops in Jordan.
