On @TF1, a doctor at one Paris hospital reports that there have been 150 medical workers who have been infected with #COVID19 at his institution alone.
Firefighters in Paris have been responding to 1500 calls per day, a third of which are #Covid_19fr related. About 15 firefighters have been infected as a result.
President @EmmanuelMacron is speaking live in front of emergency medical tents — it looks like he’s in a war zone. Recall that he recently made a speech in which he repeated “we are at war” over and over. He keeps calling for national solidarity to fight the war against #COVID19.
The Parisian hospital system is calling for thousands of medical workers — including students and retired professionals — to volunteer to help the health system.
“Everyone has a role,” @EmmanuelMacron said, thanking people for staying at home, thus maximizing the number of people hospitals can save and protecting the elderly.
@EmmanuelMacron announced the military’s “Operation Resilience” to support the country during #Covid_19fr.
“Unity and courage will allow us to win.” - @EmmanuelMacron
