PARIS (Reuters) – France\u2019s Health Ministry has asked regional health agencies and hospitals to enter \u201ccrisis organisation\u201d to prepare for a possible surge in coronavirus cases as a result of highly contagious variants, Le Journal Du Dimanche reported.<\/p>

The move, which would echo measures taken in March and November when France went into lockdown, involves increasing the number of hospital beds available, delaying non-urgent surgery and mobilising all medical staff resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis crisis organisation must be implemented in each region, regardless of the level of hospital stress and must be operational from Thursday Feb. 18,\u201d the DGS health authority said in a memo cited by the newspaper on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The DGS said in an emailed response to Reuters that the memo reflected an \u201canticipatory approach\u201d in view of ongoing pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts goal is to mobilise all health players in the country in case there is a flare-up in the epidemic, which can happen as virus variants circulate,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Reuters was not able to independently confirm the contents of the memo cited by Le Journal Du Dimanche.<\/p>\n

France reported 21,231 new confirmed coronavirus cases on Saturday, slightly up from 20,701 on Friday, taking the total cumulative number in France to 3,448,617, the sixth-highest in the world.<\/p>\n

In contrast with some of its neighbours who are struggling to control more contagious variants, France has resisted a new lockdown, hoping a national curfew in place since Dec. 15 will contain the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Some scientists, however, believe President Emmanuel Macron took a gamble in deciding against a new lockdown.<\/p>\n

At the same time, France trails behind several other European countries, such as Britain, in rolling out vaccinations.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Olivier Veran, who noted the variant first detected in Britain accounted for 25% of confirmed new infections in France, said on Thursday the government would decide in the coming weeks whether tougher national restrictions were necessary.<\/p>\n

Arnaud Fontanet, a member of the scientific council that advises the government on COVID-19 policy, told Europe 1 radio on Saturday he feared this variant could account for the majority of cases in March.<\/p>\n
