According to the doctor, there is a risk that Christmas and New Year's Eve “

potentially lead to a giant national cluster, intergenerational at the origin of a potential third wave

” of Covid-19.

The risk would then be of having to “

discuss new confinement

” a few weeks after the holidays.

"

If I had to have a purely scientific and rational opinion, I would rather say cancel Christmas and New Years Eve without hesitation,

" he said.

With a second particularly virulent wave and a very fragile tremor of epidemiological indicators, uncertainties persist on the duration of the confinement and the way in which the end-of-year celebrations will unfold.

Olivier Véran himself refuses to make predictions on the turn that Christmas will take.
