"All the indicators" of a worsening of the Covid-19 epidemic are present, Public Health France warned earlier this Friday, comparing the figures with those of last week.
Confirmation fell tonight.
In the past 24 hours, the agency has registered 13,215 new confirmed cases.
A record.
France had crossed for the first time the milestone of 10,000 new cases of Covid-19 in 24, on September 12.
As of Thursday, nearly 10,600 cases had been detected for 24 hours.
123 deaths were recorded by the agency.
A figure to be put into perspective: the admissions and death files entered by a care establishment in Ile-de-France and which had not been transmitted to the SIVIC hospital database have just been sent retrospectively.
This catch-up of data concerns 237 admissions files including 76 deaths (up to week S29), which explains the increase in the number of deaths declared today.
Since yesterday, 47 people have succumbed to the new coronavirus.
947 clusters under investigation
In one day, 93 new clusters were also identified in the country.
In all, 947 clusters are under investigation, including 153 in nursing homes.
These epidemic foci include "at least three confirmed or probable cases, in a period of seven days", according to the definition given by Public Health France.
