In Nice, the municipal decree is awaited for the return of the outdoor mask mandate following the increase in the contamination rate, which has reached 47/100,000 cases on a weekly moving average, after it had fallen to less than 20/100,000 a few weeks ago.
The positivity rate, which measures the percentage of people testing positive out of all those tested, stands at 1.1% (1% the previous day).
On the hospital front, the numbers continue to decrease. In total, 7,183 Covid patients are hospitalized compared to 7,912 a week ago.
The trend continues downward in critical care units treating the most severe cases, with 947 patients. This key indicator, which had peaked at 6,000 patients at the height of the third wave in late April, dropped below 1,000 last Wednesday.
The disease claimed 19 lives in 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 111,350 since the beginning of the epidemic in March 2020.
Since the start of the vaccination campaign, 35,112,901 people have received at least one injection, according to Public Health France.
