French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Wednesday that the country has entered the fifth wave of the coronavirus pandemic, registering more than 10,000 new COVID-19 cases for the second day in a row.
“Several neighboring countries are already in a fifth wave of the COVID-19 epidemic, what we are experiencing in France clearly looks like the beginning of a fifth wave,” Veran told TF1 television channel.
Veran’s remarks come after data showed France recorded 11,883 positive cases over the past day, slightly lower compared to yesterday but still close to figures seen two months ago.
