France's former health minister Agnes Buzyn
France's former health minister Agnes Buzyn has been charged over her handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
Miss Buzyn was charged after investigators at a special court in Paris concluded there were grounds to prosecute her.
She is charged with endangering the lives of others.
Miss Buzyn resigned from her post in February last year, weeks after the first COVID-19 cases were confirmed in France.
A month before her resignation, she said the risk of a spread of the coronavirus among the population was very small.
During a parliamentary investigation, Miss Buzyn testified that she had alerted the president and prime minister to the potential dangers of COVID-19 as early as January.
