Covid in France
A drop in the number of new Covid-19 cases in France appears to be the first tangible effect of this first month of lockdown. The news was announced by French Health Minister Olivier Vran, who said he believed we had passed the peak of the epidemic. We have regained control over the epidemic, he explained. The virus circulation rate has already decreased for 10 days, as has the positive test rate and incidence rate. Everything – added the minister – therefore leads us to believe that we have overcome an epidemic peak. However, the situation in le-de-France is worrying, where 96.5% of intensive care places are occupied by coronavirus patients.
