A measure to deal with contaminations which directly affect schoolchildren.

At the exit of a new Health Defense Council on Monday, according to our information, the government will announce the transition to stage 3 of the health protocol for primary schools, thus strengthening the wearing of masks for students and staff.

Concretely, level 3 of this protocol, also called "orange level", requires the wearing of the mask "compulsory for elementary school students, middle school and high school students in closed spaces and outdoors", as well as for staff .

A high incidence rate in children

The incidence rate is exploding in children, for whom vaccination against Covid-19 is being considered.

The High Authority for Health (HAS) has already given the green light to vaccinate children at risk of serious forms of the disease (for example suffering from chronic liver diseases, chronic heart and respiratory diseases or obesity) but has not yet spoken for the others, aged 5 to 11.

"If it had to do it positively, and a political decision was taken in this direction, the vaccinations could start at the beginning of January on a voluntary basis", indicated Gabriel Attal, the spokesperson for the government.

Thanks to a highly contagious Delta variant and a vaccine effectiveness dulling over time, the number of new daily cases now stands in the tens of thousands, with 42,252 cases on Sunday.

More worryingly, the number of hospitalized patients is now over 11,000, a threshold that had not been reached since the end of August.

Several hospitals have reactivated their "white plan", a measure which allows the deprogramming of non-urgent operations and soliciting staff reinforcements.
