The number of Covid-19 patients in intensive care in France continues to rise. The world has surpassed the 100 million Covid case mark, and the possibility of a new national lockdown is increasingly felt among the French. Here’s the Covid update…
According to the latest information from AFP, more than 100 million people have officially been infected with the Coronavirus since it emerged in China a year ago.
Exactly 100,010,798 cases have been officially detected worldwide, resulting in 2,151,242 deaths. Even though a major part of these infected people are on the road to recovery, some retain a dangerous asymptomatic stage for several weeks.
France continues to rise
22,086 new cases and 352 deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours in France, according to Santé Publique France. The tally now stands at 3,079,943 cases, including 169,291 in nursing homes, and 74,106 deaths, including 51,868 in hospitals and 22,238 in nursing homes.
In France, a total of 1,184,510 vaccination doses have been administered, which is 91,552 more in 24 hours. Now, the daily reported figures no longer indicate the total number of people vaccinated but the number of doses administered.
1,184,510 injections in France of one of the two vaccines currently on the market. @Sante_Gouv will soon provide the number of vaccinated people, that is, those who have received the two necessary injections (more than a thousand approximately for now). #CNEWS
