In a statement, the government said “viral flow is still in France,” noting that the reproduction rate is solid at 1.3.
A reproductive rate of 1.3 of 1.3 means that another hundred people inflamed with the virus infect, on average, 130 other people. A rate of less than 1 is mandatory to involve the disease.
France also reported 14 new deaths from the virus, bringing the total to 30223 and double the average buildup of seven last week.
The number of other people hospitalized with COVID-19 decreased from 104 to 5551, following a downward trend of two months.
