The Director General of Health, Jérôme Salomon, announced Wednesday 541 new deaths linked to the coronavirus in 24 hours in France, with a total of 10,869 deaths since the beginning of the epidemic.
This new figure, however, does not include new death data in nursing homes and other medico-social establishments, which could not be issued following a "technical problem". "7,632 deaths in hospitals have been reported since March 1," said the DGS.
In total, 30,375 people are hospitalized following the Covid-19, counted Jérôme Salomon, who specified that 7,148 serious cases require "heavy care". 34% of resuscitation patients are under the age of 60, he added.
It also indicates that 21,254 hospitalized people have been cured, not counting the thousands of patients not hospitalized.
