PARIS: France on Sunday reported almost 4,900 new coronavirus cases over the last 24 hours, its highest figure since May, as the health minister acknowledged there were"risks" in the surging infection levels.
He emphasised however that the situation was"not the same as it was in February" when the virus began spreading in France, with COVID-19 now circulating four times as much among the under 40s as the over 65s.AdvertisementBut he added that the risk was that young people could pass on the virus to the elderly, who are far more at risk of developing serious complications or dying.
But Veran said that a new nationwide lockdown was"not on the agenda" and unlike in the spring"we have more knowledge and means at our disposal", with targeted local measures the best action to take.
