The figures seem to support the choice to impose new restrictions, announced yesterday by Emmanuel Macron.
According to the latest data concerning the Covid-19 in France, published this Thursday by the health authorities, the epidemic outbreak continues.
The trend is not good, as the braking measures have been extended to the whole country.
Public Health France, in its daily report, counts 313 new deaths linked to SARS-CoV-2 in hospitals over the last 24 hours.
They were 304 Wednesday and 228 just seven days ago.
Since the start of the epidemic, 95,980 people have died after contracting the coronavirus.
The tension is very high in a hospital environment, where the number of serious patients continues to increase.
It has now largely passed the peak of the second wave of the epidemic.
In detail, 28,581 Covid-19 patients are currently treated in hospital, against 28,463 on Wednesday, and 27,036 last Thursday.
With 2,035 new admissions in 24 hours.
Of this total, 5,109 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)", both the latter being able to pass to the status of "intensive care unit" in times of high tension), against 5,053 Wednesday, and 4,709 last Thursday.
480 patients have been admitted to these services in the past 24 hours.
