A new step was taken on Tuesday. According to official figures, the number of Covid-19 patients admitted to intensive care units in French hospitals has fallen below 2,000. More exactly, 1,952 coronavirus patients are in these services treating the most serious cases. You have to go back to October 18 to find a comparable figure (1,939), and at the time, the trend was upwards while it is now down.
All services combined, 12,008 patients are currently hospitalized for Covid-19, which has been declining steadily since mid-April. France has never gone back below the 12,000 mark since October 19. Over the last twenty-four hours, 300 people have been hospitalized because of the coronavirus, including 69 in the emergency services. At the beginning of April, these daily admissions peaked at values ten times higher (more than 3,000 and more than 600).
