If the numbers published yesterday are much lower than the day before, it is simply explained by the fact that it was difficult to get tested on December 25th.
It’s a bit of Christmas magic that will operate for a few days. This Saturday, December 26th, Santรฉ Publique France has published, as it has every day for nearly 11 months, the figures related to the COVID-19 epidemic.
Only 3,093 new cases of contamination have been recorded in 24 hours, bringing the number of French people affected by the virus to 2,550,864. Among them, 62,573 have died, including 146 on yesterday alone. The number of patients still hospitalized remains very high, with 24,477 people, including 2,649 requiring intensive care.
The positivity rate remains above 3% even though it has been slightly decreasing for a few days.
