Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
PARIS — French government spokesperson Gabriel Attal says the coronavirus is gaining ground again in France because of the delta variant.
He says cases increased by 20% from last week and warned against the risk of a “rapid” new peak in infections.
The upward trend is especially strong amid people between ages 20 to 29, and in the Paris region, southeastern France and Brittany.
The more infectious delta variant is estimated to represent more than 40% of new infections, twice last week’s proportion, Attal says. Confirmed infections remain relatively low nationwide, at about 2,300 per day, compared to more than 35,000 during the March-April peak.
Attal strongly encouraged the French to get vaccinated. More than 34 million people, or 51% of the population, have received at least one shot of vaccine.
