For the first time in France, where coronavirus patients are increasing rapidly since the summer holiday season, the number of confirmed cases exceeded 10,000 per day.
On the 12th (local time), the French Ministry of Health said that the number of people who tested positive for the coronavirus across the country in 24 hours was counted as 10,561. It is the first time that more than 10,000 confirmed cases have been recorded per day since the first confirmed cases were reported in mid-February. The confirmed cumulative number was 373,911.
France drastically reduced crown patients from May to June due to a heavy lockdown, but after August, the holiday season, the number of patients is showing a sharp increase. Compared with Italy’s 1501, Great Britain’s 3497, and Germany’s 718, the number of confirmed cases on this day was notably higher in France.
There are several reasons why the number of confirmed cases increases dramatically. Compared to last spring, many more tests are underway. It is also noted that young people with relatively mild symptoms do not adhere well to quarantine rules even if they are infected with coronavirus. In the case of central Paris, dozens of people are often seen gathering in groups and dancing without wearing the masks properly.
However, the death toll is much lower than in spring. The number of deaths in France that day was 17, 0.16% of confirmed cases. Older people with underlying diseases vulnerable to the crown have already died in spring. Some people in the medical world have argued that the aggressiveness of the coronavirus is weakening over time.
Although the number of confirmed cases is increasing rapidly, the level of quarantine has not been raised in view of the fact that there is little harm to people. Prime Minister Jean Castex said on the 11th that “there will never be a complete lockdown.” It is because they are concerned about financial damage. Instead, Prime Minister Castex said he would hire 2,000 new employees to track the path of confirmed cases.
Health experts warn that even if the death rate from corona has decreased, the number of confirmed cases is so high that the likelihood of additional human harm is increasing. French health officials have said 417 people have been hospitalized for corona in the past week. In particular, news channel BFM TV reported that the number of corona infections is increasing rapidly again at Eppard (a French-style nursing home with hospital functions).
To this day, the number of deaths from corona in France amounted to 3,910, of which 2,395 died in hospitals. About 10,000 people died in Eppard or at home, not in hospitals.
