A record number of 60,486 positive cases were detected in 24 hours, 405 people died in hospitals, and 430 people have died in nursing homes since Tuesday. A total of 39,865 patients have died from Covid-19 since the beginning of the epidemic.
The coronavirus epidemic is breaking new records in France. Health authorities indicated this Friday, November 6, that 60,486 people tested positive in the last 24 hours.
Currently, 28,979 people are hospitalized, which is 553 more than yesterday, with 3,140 admissions in the last 24 hours. Among the hospitalized patients, 4,331 are in intensive care, and 434 have been transferred there since yesterday.
However, Public Health France announced this Friday that the data on new Covid-19 infections have been incomplete and underestimated for several days, greatly complicating the analysis of the epidemic’s progression. The issue stems from a computer “incident” identified on October 28, related to the “enormous volume of tests currently being conducted.”
