PARIS (Reuters) – France has reported 2,524 new coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, a new daily record after closure, but there is no tension in hospitals as the virus is basically circulating among young people, the 130s minister said.
The cumulative total of instances in France is now in 206696 and the seven-day moving average of new infections, which eliminates daily irregularities in knowledge reporting, rose to 1810, the highest point since 24 April, when the epidemic in full swing and France under strict blocking.
Despite the outbreak of infections, the number of others hospitalized with COVID-19 continued to decline from 121 to 4,891, the first time it fell below 5,000 since 19 March. It peaked at 32,292 on April 14.
The number of other people in coronavirus resuscitation also continued to decline, from 12 to 379.
Health Minister Olivier Veran said the number of infections with severe headaches has now dropped greatly than in February-March.
“There are several explanations, adding the fact that patients diagnosed with COVID are now younger, 20 to 40 years old and less fragile, and because the elderly continue well,” Veran told France 2.
He said the government would do everything imaginable to avoid a new closure and that schools deserve to open normally in September, albeit with antivirus coverage procedures.
The government will also intensify police checks to ensure that others wear a mask where it is mandatory and respect social distance.
The seven-day moving average of new daily infections, which reached 4537 on April 1, has now exceeded 1000 for more than two weeks, and the infection rate is expanding as millions of French people travel and social estrangement regulations do not have a good reputation in high-traffic areas.
The death toll increased from 18 to 30,371 on Wednesday, up from 14 on Tuesday and an average of nine days a week.
