Hospital services remain under tension on Thursday.
According to a new report from Public Health France, 11,104 patients with Covid-19 are currently being treated in hospital, and 110 new deaths have been counted.
As of Wednesday, 11,171 patients were hospitalized due to a Covid-19 infection.
They were 10,392 seven days ago.
This Thursday, of the 11,104 hospitalized patients, 2,261 are in critical care, against 2,239 on Wednesday, and 2,049 last Thursday.
Almost 114,000 deaths in total
Public Health France also recorded 110 new deaths linked to Covid-19, bringing the total of deaths in France to 113,991 since the start of the epidemic.
"In metropolitan France, the situation seems to be stabilizing for a few days," said government spokesman Gabriel Attal after the Council of Ministers on Wednesday.
Even if, with an average of 21,500 cases of new contamination per day, we remain at a level "still far too high", he added.
On the other hand, "the situation is dramatic in the ultra-marine territories", he continued, explaining that under-vaccination "is wreaking havoc there".
In the West Indies, "the epidemic situation seems to be stabilizing and receding but remains very serious".
In Polynesia, the outbreak of contaminations "could quickly cause hospital saturation".
