Paris (AFP) Sept 9, 2021

French former health minister Agnes Buzyn could face charges over her handling of the Covid crisis after being summoned to appear in court, judicial sources told AFP on Thursday. Buzyn, who resigned from her post in February last year weeks after the first Covid cases were confirmed in France, will be grilled on Friday over her role in the widely criticised initial response to the pandemic.
