PARIS (Reuters) – France reported more than 2,500 new COVID-19 infections for the moment in the consecutive day on Thursday, the last time it was noted in mid-April, when the country was in the midst of one of Europe’s strictest blockades.
Despite the accumulation of cases, which may cause Britain to remove France from its safe list, the number of other people hospitalized due to the disease has continued to decline, after falling below 5,000 for the first time since mid-March. Wednesday.
Experts say this is due to the fact that other young people are infected and are less likely to want hospital care.
The official total of instances now stands at 209,365.
The seven-day moving average of new infections, which eliminates reports of irregularities, increased to 1,962, a total that has doubled in the two weeks following degrees that were not noticed since beyond April.
Meanwhile, the average since the beginning of the month reached 1650, arriving in March 1678, when the disease began to overwhelm the fitness formula and led the government to impose the blockade on March 17.
The death toll increased from 17 to 30,388 on Thursday, raising the average of seven days to 11 from August 10.
But deaths remain low compared to the average of 695 deaths in April.
