This is a very sad anniversary. A little over a year ago, the Covid-19 has spread, creating a global health crisis. France is not a spared country. Pushed by what would be likened, according to some scientists, to a third wave, the Executive cracked down again, Thursday, March 18, 2021, by announcing a new confinement in sixteen departments. The media outings of members of the government to inform the French population are plethora. Olivier Véran, guest of Daily on TMC, Thursday March 24, 2021, would have suggested that the new restrictions could extend to the whole of France very soon if the situation “kept getting worse “. Despite this pessimistic forecast, during this interview, the Minister of Health appeared all smiles. The neurologist reaffirmed his desire to grant some freedoms to citizens, in particular those concerning children.
Olivier Véran’s children had “very want to go back to school“
Olivier Véran confirms that, for the moment, the schools will remain open. The latter does not hesitate to talk about his experience with his own children in order to support his remarks. “I have two children, two little ones who are 7 and 10 years old, so I understand this situation. They are in elementary school. We discuss, I talk to them about it. At first, they were quite happy with the confinement, there was a new side. Then after, they really wanted to go back to school because they want to learn and they feel that something is going on“, he confides to Yann Barthès.
For this member of the Castex government, the saliva tests present in the schools should determine the potential risks. “We do surveillance, we close classes when necessary“he affirms, certain of the benefit of opening up schools. One of the columnists, however, argues that it is the countries which have closed their schools which have succeeded in”control the virus“and ask the minister”why France would pass between the drops“. The doctor’s response is straightforward.”Germany closed its schools and businesses for three months. They have reopened … the English variant is everywhere … they are closing!“he thunders. And to conclude, assuming the decisions of the government:”If there was a simple solution that no one had thought of, I think a country in the world would have thought about it …“
