Summary.

On Wednesday February 26, 2020, the Ministry of Health announced it: a 60-year-old man died of a Covid-19 infection at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris.

Officially, he is the first French patient to succumb to the virus.

More than a year later, the country is still not out of the health crisis.

At the end of March, a third wave hit France, pushing Emmanuel Macron to reconfine the population.

On Thursday April 15, the toll of the epidemic exceeded 100,000 deaths.

The first one of the Parisian devoted to Covid-19 dates from January 25, 2020. It was entitled: "Should we be afraid of the coronavirus?

".

Since then, 210 Unes have been devoted to Covid-19 as well as thousands of articles.

For Code source, Florence Méréo and Elsa Mari, health journalists at Le Parisien, go back over the past year and come back to their most striking reports.
