The figures on Covid-19 patients in hospital are still encouraging. According to data from
Public health France published Tuesday, there were 10,046 patients hospitalized because of Covid-19, against 10,386 patients on Monday, and 12,374 a week ago. The number of hospital admissions in the past twenty-four hours continued to drop, to 181, against 216 the day before, said the health agency. Over the past seven days, 1,111 people have been hospitalized for contracting the virus.
French hospitals are also welcoming fewer patients in critical care services (resuscitation, intensive care and continuous monitoring) with 1,560 patients on Tuesday, almost a hundred less than the day before (1,655). This key indicator, which fell below the 2,000 mark at the start of last week, has fallen sharply since the end of April, when the peak reached 6,000 patients. There have been 47 admissions to these services over the last twenty-four hours compared to 48 the day before and 69 a week ago.

2,204 new cases have been detected since Monday. The test positive rate over the last seven days is 0.9%. 52 people died from Covid-19 in twenty-four hours, according to figures released Tuesday, against 76 seven days earlier. The epidemic has killed 110,858 people since its inception in March 2020.
Since the start of the vaccination campaign, 19,196,147 people have been fully vaccinated, either with two injections or with a single dose if they received Janssen’s product, or if they had already been infected before. 32,441,194 people received at least one injection (48.4% of the population and 61.8% of the adult population). 17,158,112 people received two injections.
