The French government spokesman mentioned on Wednesday the possibility of ending the vaccine pass in “late March, early April”, in the wake of a decline in the Omicron wave.
Speaking at the end of the Council of Ministers, Gabriel Attal said there are “reasons to hope” that “late March, early April we can lift the pass vaccine,” because of the improved health situation in the country.
He reported a “frank decline” in infections, although “the level of people hospitalized remains very high, higher than the record we had in the spring of 2020.”
“But in the projections that we make […], there are reasons to hope that in this time horizon the situation will have improved sufficiently for us to be able to lift these final measures,” he added.
The vaccine pass would be lifted “as soon as the situation in the hospital is normalized, that is to say that there will no longer be a hospital under great tension because of COVID-19,” the executive spokesman said.
Earlier in the day, Alain Fischer, president of the Vaccine Strategy Orientation Council, had indicated at a Senate hearing that a lifting of the vaccine pass was possible “by the end of March, beginning of April” if a series of conditions were met.
“From a scientific and medical point of view, a reduced incidence rate is needed, we are at 2,500. Reduced means much less, at least 10 or 20 times less, but there are elements of context, giving a figure would not make sense,” he explained.
