As informs AFP, in this way, experts hope to contain the spread a new strain of the Omicron coronavirus.
It is noted that French President Emmanuel Macron, unlike the leaders of several other European countries, still refuses to introduce stricter quarantine restrictions to combat Omicron, hoping that booster vaccinations will help prevent overloading the healthcare system.
