The Covid-19 epidemic continues to rage at a relatively high level in France.
The health authorities count this Wednesday, January 20, 316 additional deaths in the hospital.
For more than a month, mortality has been at this level, but in recent days there has been an upward trend.
We deplored Tuesday 373 dead and 232 seven days ago.
In total, at least 71,652 people have died due to this pandemic, including 49,980 in hospital according to Géodes.

This fear of an epidemic rebound is also observed on the occupation curves of intensive care units.
2,842 serious cases occupy these intensive care beds this Wednesday evening, against 2,829 the day before and 2,701 Wednesday evening.
There are a total of 25,650 people hospitalized.
This is 915 more than a week ago.
Finally, on the screening side, 26,784 new positive cases were detected in 24 hours, against 23,608 the day before and 23,852 a week ago.
Here again, these rising indicators lend themselves to skepticism as variants could become the majority on French soil in March.
