France is facing a fresh wave of COVID-19 infections caused by new disease variations, according to French vaccine head Alain Fischer, as daily new cases hit a nearly two-month high the day before at more than 95,000.
Speaking on France 2 television, he stated that there was no question that the epidemic had resurfaced in the country and that he was personally in favor of reintroducing mandatory face mask use on public transportation.
The rise is due to two new Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 do not appear to pose a greater risk of severe illness than other forms of Omicron, but because they are somewhat more contagious than the latter, they may result in an increase in hospitalizations and fatalities, according to the ECDC.
