The essential
A new increase in the epidemic has been observed for several days in France in hospitals.
Less strongly than in other European countries, but still: hospitals recorded 483 new admissions in 24 hours and 6,865 patients were, Monday evening, hospitalized for Covid.
President Emmanuel Macron speaks this evening at 8 p.m., on the health situation in particular.
Will he announce that the health pass will be conditioned on the 3rd dose, for those who benefit from it?
Such a decision is complex to implement.
The High Health Authority yesterday advised against the use of the Moderna vaccine for those under 30, because of a slightly increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis for this population.
Two months after removing it, Denmark will reintroduce the health pass.
"Things happened faster than expected," admitted Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

The wife of the President of the United States Jill Biden, a university professor, went to a school to praise the vaccination of 5-11 year olds.
Yesterday, the Biden administration wrote to all heads of primary schools across the country asking them to be the relays of "reliable" information to weigh in with parents.
Nothing is more important than our children's health and safety.
And parents, we now have the best tool available to protect your child against COVID-19: the vaccine.
