According to him, it is a question of taking "
a series
" of measures.
And among them is the closing of borders.
"
It's not perfect, it doesn't always work, it's even very porous
", first recognized the mayor of La Garenne-Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine), but "
it would make it possible to win probably two weeks
”.
Another possibility, in the absence of a complete closure: "
extremely hard control
", inspired by what the British are doing.
Boris Johnson thus announced this weekend a tightening of entry measures in the United Kingdom, forcing visitors to present a PCR test two days after his arrival and to isolate himself until the result of the latter.
"We are vaccinating at full speed"
"
We must do it
", insisted Philippe Juvin, who thus pleads for the government "to
benefit from these two weeks that we would gain on time
".
"
What do we do with these two weeks?"
We are vaccinating at full speed,
”he said.
Referring to "
elements of concern
", the doctor also underlined the specificity of Omicron, "a
variant which has been the most modified compared to the natural form since the onset of the epidemic
" and which could well be "
more aggressive
”,“
more transmissible
”and“
more resistant to the vaccine
”.
