It is too early to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the reconfinement but ... The Minister of Health Olivier Véran estimated this Sunday that there was a "thrill" and "a form of slowing down" in the progression of the epidemic of Covid-19 in France.

"By the end of the week, we will have consolidated data", which will allow us to assess the situation, but "in any case there will be an increase in hospitalizations and resuscitations in the coming days since it is a reflection of the epidemic situation before confinement, ”he added.
