France has recorded 218 covid-19-associated deaths in the past 24 hours in hospitals and homes, representing a total of 24,594 deaths since the pandemic began, an official source announced today.
The numbers of the advance of the virus in France were revealed by Jérôme Salomon, general director of Health, in a press conference.
Since March 1, 15,369 people have died in hospitals and 9,225 deaths have been recorded in homes in the same period.
In France there are 25,887 people hospitalized due to covid-19 and 3,878 of these patients are in intensive care. This is the first time since the start of the pandemic that the number of critically ill patients is less than 4,000 cases.
In order to prepare for the end of the running of the bulls, the Director General of Health will begin to publish the classification of the different French regions in green, orange and red every day to verify the spread of viruses in the territory.
In light of the first presentation that took place on Thursday, 09 departments were reclassified, changing from red to orange in the virus circulation category.
However, as these data intersect with saturation in hospitals, eastern France continues to be more attacked, concentrating most of the orange and red regions.
France has registered more than 130,000 cases since the pandemic began. More than 50,000 of the covid-19 cases that went through the hospital were considered cured.
Globally, according to a report by the AFP news agency, the covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 224,000 deaths and infected more than 3.1 million people in 193 countries and territories.
About 890,000 patients were considered cured.
