The impact of the fourth wave of Covid-19 continues to weigh on hospitalizations in France.
This Sunday, Public Health France counted 9,789 people hospitalized due to a Covid-19 infection (with 399 new admissions) against 9,648 the day before, and 8,685 last Sunday.
Proof that hospital pressure continues: 1,852 patients were treated in critical care, against 1,837 on Saturday, and 1,556 seven days ago.
Over the past 24 hours, 44 new deaths have also been counted at the hospital.
Over 46 million first doses
In its weekly update Friday, Public Health France had drawn up a "mixed" assessment of the health situation, observing a dynamic of slowing down the progression of the incidence rate at the national level (236 cases per 100,000 inhabitants), but which does not yet translate to the hospital.
The health agency still underlined a strong geographic heterogeneity, with a "very worrying" situation in Guadeloupe and Martinique, where contaminations are exploding and hospitals are overwhelmed.
