PARIS – CoVID-19 death toll in France fell to a low of seven months of 70 on Sunday, while the seven-day moving average of new cases fell below 13,000 for the first time since the end of 2020.
Ministry of Health figures released sunday also showed that the number of other people treated for the disease in intensive care units (ICU) fell for the twentieth consecutive day, from 29 to 3515, or nearly part of the total five weeks ago.
France has been softening its blockade since early May and hopes to lift all primary restrictions until the end of June.
The country’s COVID-19 touch tracking app has now been downloaded through 16. 5 million people, or 24. 6% of the French population, the Minister of Digital Affairs said earlier, exceeding the minimum point to paint effectively.
After a slow start, France’s vaccination crusade has accelerated in recent times, with 34. 5% of the general population receiving at least one vaccine on Sunday and 14. 5% receiving two vaccines (Report via Benoit Van Overstraeten; Edited through Jan Harvey).
