While the curfew comes into force on Tuesday at 8 p.m. everywhere in France, health indicators still reveal a stagnation of the epidemic, even a slight rebound.
Public Health France and Géodes count 11,532 contaminations over these 24 hours, this Tuesday.
By way of comparison, there were 13,713 positive cases last Tuesday.
The average over the last seven days is still well above 10,000 cases.
That is to say more than double the initial objectives of the government, which noted that these would not be achieved.
A plateau reached in intensive care
After almost a month of decline, the impact on hospital services is also on a plateau.
A logical trend.
There are 2871 patients in intensive care this Tuesday against 2896 the day before and 3078 last Tuesday, and more or less the same number of daily admissions between these two dates (214 on December 8, 211 on Tuesday evening).
The observation is similar in terms of hospitalization: there are 25,207 Covid-19 patients, or 242 less than the day before.
