The Covid-19 returned to France this summer with a new variant called “Eris“. The emergency doctor Gerald Kirzekpresent on the set of 8 Heures, Thursday August 10, indicates that it is“a strain of Omicron, this Covid which gave rather mild symptoms”. “No panic, we have to go back to common sense. We live with the virus”says Gerald Kirzek before adding: “We were testing less, so it felt less like he was there, but he was probably always latent.

Wear the mask when you are sick

The emergency doctor indicates that with the summer, barrier gestures were less well respected and there were large gatherings. He adds that “the fact that the weather was bad, with living a little in community inside, favored the spread”. “I believe that we should not panic, but arrive at common sense measures. We will live the four Seasons with these common sense barrier gestures: we air it out, we wash our hands, we sneeze into your elbow”continues Gerald Kirzekalso recalling the importance of wearing a mask when you are sick to avoid contaminating others.
