The number of patients in critical care remains very high on Wednesday, while Emmanuel Macron has extended the restrictions to the entire territory


While to stem the Covid-19 epidemic, the restrictions already applied in the most affected territories will be generalized among other measures announced Wednesday evening by Emmanuel Macron, Public Health France, in his daily report, counts 304 new deaths in hospitals over the last 24 hours.

The tension is very high in a hospital environment, where the number of serious patients continues to increase.

It has recently passed the peak of the second wave of the epidemic.

In detail, 28,463 Covid-19 patients are currently treated in hospital, against 28,510 on Tuesday, and 26,876 last Wednesday.

Of this total, 5,053 patients are admitted to “critical care” (a new name from Public Health France encompassing “resuscitation services, intensive care services (ICU) and continuing care services (USC)”, the last two can change to the status of "intensive care unit" in times of high tension), against 5,070 Tuesday, and 4,651 last Wednesday.

472 patients have been admitted to these services in the last 24 hours.

"Limit the impact of the epidemic"

France now deplores more than 69,596 deaths due to the epidemic in hospitals, with 304 new deaths counted in hospitals.

The pandemic is "a global drama", commented, ahead of the speech by the President of the Republic, the government spokesman Gabriel Attal.

"What France, (...) and all the countries of the world are looking for is to limit (its) impact as much as possible", he added.
