Prime Minister Édouard Philippe is to present this Thursday, May 28, the plan for phase 2 of the deconfinement in France. “Flattening of the curve”, “peak of the epidemic”, “second wave” … The Matignon teams have undoubtedly looked carefully at the statistical indicators of the evolution of the epidemic. And these past few days, they’ve been pretty positive.
First of all, the curve of the number of total cases of Covid-19 patients in France is very flat. In other words, after a regular increase in the number of new cases at the start of the epidemic, the spread of the disease is very slow, as we can see on the site Worldometers.info.
IThe same is true for the Covid-19 death curve, but with a little lag. This Tuesday, May 26, 83 deaths from the coronavirus were identified according to the Directorate General of Health.
As for the peak epidemic, it appears on April 3, with more than 17,000 new cases listed by Worldometers. Since then, the number of new cases has dropped irregularly. In terms of deaths, there are several peaks, two of which exceed 1,400 deaths on April 7 and 15.
