The total number of deaths from COVID-19 in France increased by one in the last 24 hours to 30,513. There were a total of 242,899 infections. Coronavirus is detected in France four times more often in people under 40 than among people over 65, explained Veran in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche newspaper on Sunday. He said that the highest number of infections was found in people between the ages of 20 and 40 and added that the higher number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 was not only due to the increased number of tests performed. – New measures will be implemented soon – announced the minister without further elaborating on the topic.

Infections mostly at parties
Veran emphasized that infections now occur mainly during social events and gatherings where the principles of social distancing are not respected. Earlier, during the summer, infections were most common in workplaces. The number of coronavirus infections among the elderly has also started to rise, but the health minister has ruled out another complete quarantine in France.
