The total of 8,975 infections reported Thursday through Friday came here as a greater government testing capability across the country, however, the number of cases remains well above the 7,000 noticed in recent days.
In addition, 53 new epidemic groups were reported and 46 patients were placed in intensive care, bringing the existing total to 473.
As of 1 September, France has recorded 30,661 coronavirus deaths, according to fitness firm Sante Publique France, which warned Thursday of an “exponential” accumulation of new cases.
He said the “R” rate of viral transmission remains at 1. 3 across the country, 10 other inflamed people infect an average of thirteen more.
While more than 90% of fatal cases involve others over the age of 65, “transmission basically occurs in young adults,” Sante Publique said.
The most recent figures occur when Paris and other cities have begun to require masks in all public spaces, adding to young people over the age of 11 who returned to school this week.
But the citizens of some cities refused, looking for mask regulations in public, for example, at night or in spaces where crowds do not meet regularly.
