Since May 11, 2020, France has been gradually disappearing. To try to limit the spread of Coronavirus, there are many hygienic instructions to follow such as washing your hands regularly, wearing a protective mask and social distancing. If bars, cinemas, public gardens and other places of social life are closed until further notice, the youngest have found their way back to school and the adults back to work.
A worrying gradual return to normal for some French and experts fearing a second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic. For its part, Patrick Pelloux, president of the Association of Emergency Physicians of France (Amuf) wants to be reassuring. Questioned by Hello Paris, Thursday May 21, he explains: "The mathematical models gave the possibility of an ascent (…) with a small peak which had to start now and, in fact, we do not see it."
"We must absolutely not relax"
If he believes thatsecond wave “We don't see it coming”, He recalls : "This does not mean that the epidemic has stopped. " Patrick Pelloux continued by insisting on the need to continue to respect barrier gestures : “We absolutely must not relax. You have to wear the mask everywhere and all the time, keep your physical distance, wash your hands every hour ”.
As for the images of Parisians gathered on the Esplanade des Invalides to enjoy the sun, he reacts: “You can see your friends, but we don't kiss, we don't shake hands, keep a distance of one meter, don't do a dance party (…) it would be a shame if we lost the battle".
