PARIS, June 5 (KUNA) -- The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is under control in France, said Chairperson of France Scientific Council Jean-Francois Delfraissy on Friday.
While it continues to circulate, it is doing so at a low speed, said Delfraissy in remarks broadcast by the radio station, France Inter.
"Above all, we have the tools to detect new cases, said Delfraissy, adding, "life has to start again" but called on the public not to relax "too much." "We're slacking off a bit, but that's normal, it's humane. The trick is not to relax too much," he said.
France has so far suffered more than 29,000 deaths from COVID-19, making it one of Europeآ’s hardest-hit countries. (end) mjz.rk
