The Covid-19 is still very present, even if it has been declining for nearly a month.
This decline reached a symbolic level on Saturday, with less than 20,000 hospitalizations linked to the coronavirus.
This Sunday, 19,720 people were still hospitalized, against 19,765 the day before and 22,963 seven days ago.
In the past 24 hours, 468 patients have been admitted to hospital.
Deaths are on the decline
On the side of critical care services - including intensive care units, intensive care units and continuous monitoring units - 115 patients have been admitted in the past 24 hours.
A total of 3,515 patients are currently in one of these departments, up from 3,544 the day before and 4,255 seven days ago.
Sign that the decline is real, although slow.

Deaths are also declining: 70 people have lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus in the past 24 hours, against 89 the day before.
Here again, a plateau has been crossed: we have to go back to October to find a daily toll of less than 70 deaths.
Vaccination continues to progress, although the pace is a little slower due to the long weekend.
188,204 doses were injected in the last 24 hours.
This brings the number of people who received at least one injection to 23,081,274 and the number of people who received two to 9,706,333.
This represents, respectively, 43.9% and 18.5% of the adult population.
