They believe that <strong>Amazon forest<\/strong> could become the <strong>the next epicentre of a new pandemic<\/strong>. This fear has been confirmed by the development of the pandemic in Manaus, Amazonia's largest metropolis with a population of two million. According to the city's Health Secretariat, Manaus is now facing a second deadly wave. As of April 14, it counted more than 165,000 people infected and 8,600 dead.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian strain of the virus has forced the French government to suspend flights to Brazil until 23 April inclusive. On that date<strong> only the following will be admitted<\/strong> on the territory <strong>French and European nationals<\/strong> resident in the EU. They must first complete a <strong>PCR test less than 36 hours old, compared with the usual 72 hours<\/strong>. Or a PCR test less than 72 hours old with a negative antigen test less than 24 hours old. In addition to another antigen test on arrival at the airport, travellers are likely to have to undergo another test on D+8.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Government U-turn<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once the test has been carried out, travellers will be taken to the site of their compulsory ten-day quarantine. Visit <strong>choice of location<\/strong> from this harsh isolation <strong>remains at the discretion of travellers.<\/strong> However, the police or gendarmerie will check that this measure is being complied with at home, as indicated by government spokesman Gabriel Attal. In the event of a breach, a <strong>a fine of between \u20ac1,500 and \u20ac3,000<\/strong> (in the event of a repeat offence) will apply.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Brazil, these measures also affect neighbouring countries. In this case<strong>Argentina, Chile, South Africa and French Guiana<\/strong>. In the latter, a <strong>antigenic test on arrival<\/strong> will also be carried out at the airports of <strong>Guadeloupe <\/strong>and<strong> Martinique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We are therefore seeing a reversal in the policy of controlling travellers' arrivals, with much more coercive isolation measures. This leads us to believe that the government could now impose a <strong>quarantine similar to other countries<\/strong> where the pandemic is rampant.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Sunday 18 April on France 3, the <strong>Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian<\/strong> admitted, for example, that \"<em>India is experiencing an extremely serious pandemic situation<\/em>\". On 18 April, the country recorded <strong>275,000 new cases of Covid<\/strong> and <strong>1,600 deaths<\/strong>breaking an all-time record. The Minister admitted that he had to \"\u00a0<em>We have to ask ourselves this question, [even if] for the moment India is not on the list of countries for which we are imposing much stricter health measures.<\/em>\"The decision therefore seems imminent.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Turkey to watch in Europe<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Other countries outside the EU could also be affected. If we look at the figures for countries with very high levels of contamination, we find the following <strong>Philippines,<\/strong>\u00a0the <strong>Colombia<\/strong> (more than 10,000 cases a day) or the<strong>Iran<\/strong> (21,600 cases on Sunday 18 April).<\/p>\n<p>Closer to France, the <strong>Turkey<\/strong> (55,800 new cases at 18 April) and the<strong>Ukraine<\/strong> (10,280 contaminations) could find themselves on a list of high-risk countries.<\/p>\n<p>Within the European Union, in addition to the<strong>Germany and Italy<\/strong> with the number of contaminations fluctuating daily between <strong>10,000 and 20,000 new cases<\/strong>We can also highlight the <strong>Poland<\/strong> among the countries worst affected by the pandemic. Even if these countries are far from reaching the <strong>contamination levels recorded in France<\/strong>the EU country most affected by the virus.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mandatory 10-day quarantine imposed by France on travellers arriving from Brazil, Chile, Argentina, French Guiana and South Africa is like a Pandora's box.
