But at this moment, for example, with the delta virus, we do not see the evidence of which effectively eluting the immune protection of we can surely nobody [vaccinating]. Let's see that your protection can weaken over six to eight months, which would be at stake with the booster. It is therefore really very, very contagious so that we "see that some people who are probably the cases of rupture.

"One of the things we press people look at using N95S, these types of masks that actually have electrostatic charges in the material, which means there is a way to catch the virus. The size of the spaces in the mask are big enough to let yourself be booked easily. I could not have made this recommendation a year ago because we did not have enough for our health workers and even less for today's public, we have more enough of a sufficient supply. So where we can use N95S or KN95, for all ages, if possible ".
