France’s national health body warned on Friday of a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the country, and urged people to continue to get vaccinated to protect themselves against the virus.
\nThe Sante Publique France (SPF) body said that during the week of Sept 5-Sept 11, there had been 186 confirmed COVID cases for every 100,000 people in France \u2014 a figure up 12% versus the previous week \u2014 representing an average of around 18,000 new cases per day.
\nEarlier this week, Emer Cooke \u2014 the executive director for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) watchdog \u2014 told a Reuters Next Newsmaker interview that people in Europe should take whatever COVID-19 booster vaccine is available to them, given expectations of an autumn rise in infections.
\nNew infections have been steadily rising for 10 days and the seven-day moving average of daily new cases reached an almost five-weeks high of 24,042 on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
