The EU health pass, enabling to travel between EU countries requiring it, could be needed longer, one extra year than expected, until June 30, 2023, following the vote at the EU Parliament.
As you've no doubt noticed, Covid-19 is back with a vengeance, causing tens of thousands of infections every day. The cause is a new, more contagious sub-variant, which could well push the government into action.
Unfortunately, Covid-19 is not something from the past yet. Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, always growing in France, have caused the contamination toll to rise suddenly, sparking fears to encounter another wave this summer.
BA.2, BA.4, BA.5, the Omicron variant led to plenty of subvariants, and the latest one seems to spread across Europe very quickly, suggesting a sixth Covid-19 wave is coming.
An announcement expected for quite a while. Starting from May 16, 2022, people in France are allowed to ditch facemasks in public transportation. Yet, it stays compulsory in some places, and here is which.
Facemasks are no longer compulsory indoors since March 14, 2022, excluding in public transit. Although Covid-19 contamination data keeps on declining, facemask-wearing could be ditch in trains and metros before the summer.
Over two years after the virus was first reported, the Covid-19 epidemic is still not over. And new variants keep emerging, such as XD, a contagious and virulent mix of Omicron and Delta.
With the Delta variant, it was much rarer to be reinfected by Covid-19. But since the Omicron and BA.2 variants broke out, it is different, since reinfection cases have increased markedly since December 2021.
As the Covid-19 epidemic is increasing again, after being calmer for one month, it is difficult to consider what will happen in the coming months. The WHO came up with three different scenarios as for the future of the epidemic.
