The number of people sick with Covid-19 hospitalized was stable on Sunday, as the spread of the Delta variant raises fears of a rebound in the epidemic, according to figures released on Sunday by
Public health France.
A total of 7,183 people were hospitalized, the same number as the day before. Twenty-three patients have been admitted in the past 24 hours.
947 patients in critical care
Critical care welcomed 947 patients sick with Covid-19, with four new admissions since Saturday. This key indicator, which peaked at 6,000 patients at the peak of the third wave at the end of April, fell below the 1,000 mark on Wednesday. The number of contaminations, on the other hand, tends to increase, raising fears of a fourth wave.
The Head of State Emmanuel Macron is to address the French on Monday evening concerning the health situation and the decisions taken in the morning during an exceptional defense council.
