French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce new Covid-19 measures as the country braces for a new surge in cases due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant, reports AFP.
Officials have warned that hospitals again risk being overwhelmed after a record 100,000 cases were reported on Saturday, the highest daily level in France since the pandemic began nearly two years ago.
Health experts have estimated the number of daily cases could increase rapidly by mid-January, even though millions of people have received booster shots in recent weeks.
