While Emmanuel Macron announced last night that he expected to "take new measures in the coming weeks", the coronavirus epidemic continues to progress in France.
The third wave is there, as was reiterated on Thursday evening at his press conference by Olivier Véran, the Minister of Solidarity and Health.
He then unveiled 45,000 new cases in 24 hours, a figure approaching the average of the 50,000 new infections which had led to previous generalized confinements.
This Friday, there are still 41,869 new cases recorded.
Strong increase over one week.
This Friday evening, 27,242 people are hospitalized for a Covid-19 infection.
France had exceeded the threshold of 27,000 Thursday evening (27,036).
In one day, 2,048 more patients were hospitalized.
Among the total hospitalizations, there are 4,766 patients in intensive care (4,709 yesterday), with 476 admissions.
A figure that continues to climb and was 4,287 a week ago.
An exponential growth that worries.
New medical evacuations are planned for the next few days, from the Ile-de-France region in particular.
The incidence rate in Île-de-France exceeds the value 600, up 17% in one week (and twice as much as a month ago).

Moreover, to contain the pandemic, the government is counting on the vaccination campaign with the deployment, within a week, of several giant vaccinodromes.
Who finally seems to find a considerable rhythm with "more than 10 million injections" since the end of December according to a message posted on Twitter by Olivier Véran.
Only Île-de-France and its 12 million inhabitants have exceeded one million first injections.
This makes it possible to exceed, pending the consolidation of the figures, the 7.5 million first-time vaccinated.
In detail, more than 2.6 million people have received their two doses.
Yesterday, 363,301 bites were identified.
