With 152 deaths to regret yesterday, mortality is back to earlier week levels. However, if hospital pressure remains strong, it decreases for the first time. Furthermore, an encouraging sign, the contamination continues to decrease with, this Friday, 43,766 new cases. That is 5,751 less than the day before and, above all, 12,595 less than last Friday. Still on the epidemiological table, the 1,601 new hospitalizations limit the number of hospitalized people to 25,218. They are 177 less than on Thursday.
A certain stability marks the numbers of intensive care units in which 139 new patients have been taken care of. A total of 1,454 patients are being treated in intensive care units. They are only 2 more than December 22, but still 61 more than the previous week. Finally, the Covid wing of the Brisset center recorded an exit to the medical service and the entry, via the emergency room, of a 90-year-old patient from Parfondeval. As a result, 5 patients remain under observation within the Hirson service.
