PARIS (Reuters) – France’s Ministry of Fitness has reported 4,711 new coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, a new post-patron closure record and one last noticed at the height of the epidemic in France.
During the confinement, France experienced a peak of 7578 infections that coincided with the 31st of March, but since then there have been some days with a number of new infections exceeding 4500.
The infection rate has skyrocketed in recent days, however, the number of other people hospitalized with COVID-19 has been strong and the number of new deaths consistent with the day has also remained solid in double digits. Twelve new deaths were reported on Thursday.
