“Our rhythm is the right one.
“Guest of the Grand Jury RTL – LCI – Le Figaro, Olivier Véran wanted to be optimistic this Sunday as to the future lifting of the last restrictions against Covid-19.
"We are seeing a collapse of the Omicron wave... It reduces its pace by two every week," said the Minister of Health.
It is clear that the figures published this Sunday confirm this.
28,643 Covid-19 positive patients are hospitalized this Sunday in France, according to figures from Public Health France.
Proof that the situation is improving: they were 28,632 the day before and 31,621 seven days ago.
495 admissions are to be noted in the last 24 hours at the hospital, against 978 on Saturday and 697 last Sunday.
Note that due to Sunday being a holiday for many, these figures are generally lower.

In critical care services (intensive care, continuous monitoring and resuscitation), the figures are stabilizing.
2,923 Covid-19 positive patients are currently hospitalized there, compared to 2,918 on Saturday and 3,305 last Sunday.
67 new admissions have been recorded in the past 24 hours (compared to 127 and 90 on Saturday and seven days ago).
108,671 deaths in hospital, from the consequences of Covid-19, have been deplored since the start of the pandemic in France.
In the past 24 hours, 79 new people have died from the virus.
As Olivier Véran asserts, the epidemic is indeed losing ground.
This can be seen in the number of new infections every day.
From 86,562 last Sunday, the number of new cases in 24 hours rose this Sunday to 59,003. 76,638 new contaminations had been recorded over the same period on Saturday.
