Sleepless night
Europe is seeing a new outbreak of its own, partly because of Delta Air Lines, but also because of the easing of measures due to the busy summer tourist season.
France said on Tuesday that after reporting 18,000 cases in the past 24 hours, new Covid-19 infections are increasing at an unprecedented rate.
French Minister of Health Olivier Villan said: “Last week, our virus transmission rate increased by about 150%: we have never seen this before.”
The infection level was the highest since mid-May, when the country was emerging from the third national lockdown.
In some good news on Tuesday, the European Medicines Agency stated that it has begun a “rolling review” of the French Sanofi coronavirus vaccine, which may lead to its approval in the European Union to join Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. the company.
