PARIS, (Reuters) – A rapid rise in French COVID-19-related cases will continue for several days. There are no signs that the trend is slowing down, Gabriel Attal of France’s government stated Wednesday.

He stated that infected people were now at stratospheric levels around Paris, and in other areas of France.

Attal also said that the government has decreed a health state of emergency in the French regions of Guadeloupe, Guyana, Mayotte, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélémy, where the infection rate is soaring.

At the end of the December, a health state of emergency was decreed in La Réunion and was extended in Martinique, where it has been in place since mid-July.

France has reported an unprecedented 271,686 COVID-19 new infections in the past 24 hours.
