PARIS, 10 Aug (Reuters) – France’s Ministry of Fitness said Monday that it had recorded 785 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, up from 2,288 on Friday, but gave no indication of the number of infections over the weekend.
It said it had recorded 10,800 new cases in the following week, but did not provide an updated figure for the cumulative total number of coronavirus infections, which was placed Friday at 197,921.
The ministry said that over the next week, 10,800 new cases had been reported, but not without transparent delay at what time and whether infections over the weekend were included in that total. (Report through Geert De Clercq, edited through Franklin Paul)
