This Monday evening, at the end of an exceptional Health Defense Council, Jean Castex and Olivier Véran announced the latest arbitrations by the government and the Head of State to fight against the epidemic outbreak at the end of the year.

The meteoric rise of the Omicron variant is reflected in an incidence rate (the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the past week) never reached since the start of the pandemic.

It stands at nearly 760 on Christmas Eve (week of December 18-24).

It has increased by 40.2% in one week and continues to grow.
