While Covid numbers continue to drop each day, the government is reviewing all its plans. Despite the launch of the vaccination campaign, the idea of a third lockdown is not ruled out. Prime Minister Jean Castex will hold a press conference this Thursday.
This Monday, the latest information from Santรฉ Publique France indicated that the number of Coronavirus patients hospitalized continues to rise across the country, with nearly 29,000 patients, and 310 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 67,750 since the start of the epidemic.
3,582 new cases were recorded, compared to nearly 16,000 last Sunday. This figure is explained by the lower number of tests conducted compared to those performed last weekend.
The number of hospitalizations, meanwhile, remains on the rise. 2,666 patients are in intensive care compared to 2,602 last Sunday. The positivity rate has decreased very slightly: 6.4% compared to 6.5% on Sunday.
