The fifth wave of corona virus has hit France, a major European country, with 47,000 new cases reported in the last 24 hours.
Responding to questions in the National Assembly, the French health minister said that the situation in hospitals was under control due to the newly worsening coronavirus vaccine. If the vaccine had not been given, the hospital would have been full.
"Vaccines and masks are essential to prevent coronavirus, and care must be taken in all cases," he said. The pace of vaccination needs to be accelerated.
