The epidemic is still impacting hospitalizations in France, including critical care services: the number of hospitalized patients stood at 9,798 on Sunday (9,648 Saturday, 9,546 Friday), including 399 new admissions.
The anti-health pass protests mobilized nearly 215,000 people across the country on Saturday, a little less than the 237,000 last weekend.
An investigation was opened Sunday on placards brandished the day before during the Paris demonstration against the health pass that the Paris police prefect had reported to justice as anti-Semitic.
The health pass is mandatory from this Monday in at least 126 shopping centers and stores of more than 20,000 square meters in metropolitan France, all in the southern half of France and in the Paris region.
