(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) New confirmed cases in France exceed 7,000 in a single day Macron inspects pharmaceutical laboratories
China News Agency, Paris, August 28 (Reporter Li Yang) On 28 local time, the number of new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 7,000 in a single day, and the total number of officially confirmed cases exceeded 260,000. French President Macron inspected the pharmaceutical laboratory that day and spoke on issues related to fighting the epidemic.
The French health department’s press release on the 28th noted that the number of new confirmed cases in a single day was showing increasingly rapid growth in France. According to the epidemic data released that night, there were 7,379 new confirmed cases in a single day on the 28th, which is already close to the figure when the epidemic was severe in March this year. The total number of officially confirmed confirmed cases in France surpassed 260,000 on the day, reaching 267,077. In the last 7 days, the positive rate of the new coronavirus test in Paris rose to 3.9%.
The data shows that there are currently 4,535 hospitalized patients, the same as the previous day, the number of seriously ill patients is 387, an increase of 6 from the previous day. The number of cases of cluster infections under investigation has risen to 320, showing that cluster infections continue to increase.
French President Macron visited the pharmaceutical laboratory in La Garenne, Haute-Seine on the 28th. The laboratory belongs to the French pharmaceutical group Seqens and is reported to have a 100-year history. Seqens Group is a well-known French pharmaceutical company that develops and produces active pharmaceutical ingredients and has recently invested in research related to the new coronavirus.
Macron said he would prioritize “health sovereignty”, noting that the epidemic shows the importance of pharmaceutical production in France. He promised that the “strategic” pharmaceutical industry will receive the necessary official support. This is Macron’s inspection of Sanofi’s vaccine production plant in June and another inspection of related companies in the pharmaceutical industry, showing that French officials attach great importance to the pharmaceutical industry.
Macron wore a mask during the inspection. In response to some people in Paris dissatisfied with the mandatory use of masks, Macron noted that the mandatory use of masks is a “reasonable restriction” and recalled that the new corona virus has become part of French life. He said he doesn’t like wearing masks, but “we must accept it temporarily.”
Macron emphasized that the mandatory use of masks can slow the spread of the virus and help to restore economic activities, and the “worst” is to relax surveillance, which will accelerate the spread of the virus and lead to the adoption of control measures. He said officials will do everything possible to avoid resealing the city. (Finish)
