(ANSA) - PARIS, 12 JAN - "When 370,000 cases are diagnosed in a day, we can consider that we are not far from a million, in reality": the French Health Minister, Olivier Véran, said to the microphones of France Info, talking about the latest records of positive cases in France.
According to Véran, France "does not let the Omicron variant circulate" but the precautionary measures adopted in the previous dates are not effective this time.
"The certainty - he said - is that Omicron is destined to circulate and cross the planet. When the countries open. Traditional measures have no impact on such a contagious variant".
