French government spokesman Gabriel Attal has said that the highly contagious Delta variant of Covid-19 now represents around 40 per cent of France's Covid cases and also warned that a fourth wave of the epidemic might hit France soon, Reuters reports.
Attal said Covid infection rates were spiking higher in 11 metropolitan regions in France, notably in Paris.
Attal added the government will hold a cabinet meeting next Monday to discuss the Covid situation, and that the government was considering all possible scenarios on how to deal with a resurgence in infections.
