If the coronavirus epidemic has made 31 new deaths in 24 hours in French hospitals, the number of patients in intensive care continues to drop, according to the assessment communicated Sunday by the Directorate General of Health.

This brings the total death toll to 28,802, including 18,475 in hospital, but the figures for deaths in social and medico-social establishments (Ehpad) will not be updated until Tuesday, the statement said.

According to the DGS, 1,319 patients suffering from a severe form of COVID-19 are hospitalized in intensive care. “The balance remains negative in intensive care, with 6 fewer patients compared to yesterday (Saturday)”.
