Paris - Sana
Today, the French Ministry of Health recorded 11,395 new cases of Coronavirus in the past twenty-four hours, to jump above the 10,000-case mark for the first time in four days, amid fears of imposing a general isolation for the third time in the country.
Reuters quoted the French Minister of Health as saying today: France “will not impose a new general isolation at the present time to curb the spread of the virus, but it may soon extend the curfew period in the eastern regions of the country most affected by the infection.”
France, which began its gradual vaccination campaign against the virus yesterday, witnessed an increase in the number of hospitalized patients receiving treatment for the disease for the fourth consecutive day, which has not happened since the 13th of last November.
The total number of cases now stands at two million 574041, which is the fifth largest in the world.
France recorded 969 new deaths during the past 24 hours, which brings the total number of deaths in the country since the start of the pandemic to 6,078.
