Unheard of since April 5, during the previous epidemic wave.
The bar of 200,000 positive cases in 24 hours was identified on Tuesday, announced to the National Assembly the new Minister of Health, François Braun.
The precise count will be revealed at 7 p.m. by Public Health France.
According to our information, it is around 206,000, compared to almost 150,000 last Tuesday.
