The Minister of Health said "to hope" that the respect of the confinement by the French "will make it possible to lower the epidemic".
“If we do not sufficiently respect confinement, […] then we will experience a strong risk of saturation at the national level from mid-November” continued Olivier Véran.
In this case the second wave will be higher and longer than the first.
"We will see, day after day, week after week, whether that is enough or whether other types of measures need to be taken", warns the minister.
