13,713 new cases of Covid-19 were also reported this Tuesday. This number is a significant increase compared to the 3,411 new cases from the day before, but it should be analyzed with caution: on Mondays, the published data is always lower due to the closure of testing laboratories over the weekend.
According to Santé Publique France, 380 new hospital deaths were reported this Tuesday, compared to 366 the day before. This brings the total Covid-19 death toll to 56,352 since the beginning of the epidemic.
The test positivity rate has decreased compared to Monday and is now at 6.4%. A total of 2,865 clusters, including 1,226 in nursing homes, are still under investigation.
