In the last seven days, 1,704 new situations of hospitalized people were registered, of which 288 were in intensive care units.
In today’s daily balance sheet, the French Public Health Agency added 62 of the 101 departments in the country are in a situation of moderate or high vulnerability due to the strong circulation of the virus, with the registration of another department in this situation in relation to Saturday’s data. .
In this context, the French Government declared today that seven other departments are in a “red zone” due to the increased circulation of the new coronavirus, a number that adds to the 21 that were already on alert and allow local authorities to take additional restrictive measures.
With almost 25,000 new cases of infection registered in the last three days, the pandemic crisis is evolving in France, which does not prevent the Government from considering reducing the period of isolation of covid-19 patients and those who have had contact with infected people .
After almost 9,000 new cases were recorded on Friday’s daily balance sheet, a record since the start of the pandemic and large-scale testing in France, some 8,500 cases were confirmed on Saturday, following today’s numbers, with 7,071 new cases of infection accounted for, according to the French authorities.
Thus, the increase in the number of people infected by covid-19, which has been observed since the beginning of the summer, continues to accelerate in France, at a time of return to schools and businesses.
