PARIS (Reuters) – The fourth wave of COVID-19 infections is receding in France but is not over yet, French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Thursday.

Veran also told a news conference that the fourth wave had stabilised in August, but urged caution ahead of the back-to-school period.

“The spread of the virus has been receding since several days in a row now,” Veran said.
