France Suspends Flights with Brazil Due to Mutated Strains

France announced the suspension of all its flights with Brazil due to the mutated strains, according to an urgent news broadcast by the Al-Arabiya channel on Tuesday.

Earlier, French Minister of Health Olivier Ferrand announced that his country will extend the interval between the two doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines, which are anti-Coronavirus, from 4 weeks to 6 weeks, starting from April 14.

Ferrand confirmed - according to France 24 - that this will allow more vaccinations at a faster rate, explaining that France can do so now because it is fortifying a younger age group.

France has approved the use of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines, which are based on knowledge of RNA.
