PARIS (Reuters) – French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Thursday the COVID-19 situation in the greater Paris region was especially worrying, with a high number of people in intensive care units (ICUs) for the disease.
During a weekly briefing, Veran said that if the pandemic continued at its current rhythm in the area, the government would take “the necessary measures” to rein it in.
