(Fight against new coronary pneumonia) French deaths approach 27,000 cases and surpass Spain

China News Agency, Paris, May 12 (reporter Li Yang) At 12 local time, the cumulative deaths from the new French coronary pneumonia approached 27,000, beating Spain. Cases of pooled infections in France have recently occurred frequently, causing concern.

The French Ministry of Health published the latest epidemic data on the night of the 12th. In France, there were 348 new deaths. In the past two days, the number of single-day deaths in France has increased significantly, and cumulative deaths have increased to 26,091, including 17,003 deaths in hospitals and 9,988 deaths in nursing homes.

France’s deaths from new coronary pneumonia ranked fourth in the world, second only to the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy, and outpaced Spain. The cumulative number of deaths in Spain was 26,920. There were 176 new deaths due to new coronary pneumonia on Day 12. There have been fewer than 200 new deaths in a single day for 4 consecutive days.

Currently, the number of hospitalized patients in France is 21,595, of whom 2,542 are seriously ill, and the number of hospitalized and severely ill patients continues to decline slowly. The outbreak in the greater eastern region of France has been alleviated. The French army stated that if the outbreak continues to be contained, the field hospital in Mulhouse will be dismantled later this month and part of its equipment will be transferred to Mayotte.

The French local health department reported a new group of infections on day 12, which occurred in a hospital in Côtes-d’Armor in Brittany. Since May 1, the hospital has confirmed that 46 people have been infected with the new coronavirus and have been treated in the hospital or quarantined at home.

Medical staff and hospital patients underwent approximately 500 new coronavirus tests, of which 22 medical staff were diagnosed with infection, and the remainder infected were patients. Brittany’s health department is taking steps to prevent the virus from spreading further within the hospital.

This is considered the fifth recent cluster infection in France. Aggregate infections have been found in the Dordogne and Vienna provinces. Most of these areas with clustered infections are “green areas” on the official map of the French epidemic, which health authorities previously considered low risk. However, the continued occurrence of pooled infections sounded the alarm.

After France released the “unlocking” on the 11th, the phenomenon of people gathering, drinking and talking began to increase. For this reason, the Paris Police Department issued a “ban order” to prohibit people from gathering and drinking on the banks of the Paris River, and criminals will be fined.
