THE ESSENTIAL
- The Covid-19 has killed at least 27,529 people since March 1, including 118 since Thursday in hospitals, but the pressure on resuscitation services continues to decrease, with 2,203 serious cases, or 96 fewer patients.
- Friday, for the first time in France, a child died of an illness close to Kawasaki syndrome. This development could be linked to Covid-19, but doctors still have doubts.
- In the rest of the world, the milestone of 300,000 dead and dead was exceeded last night. 87,000 of those died in the United States, the most affected country in the world.

8:33 a.m .: We are also deconfining in Ivory Coast
The Abidjanis were back Friday evening in their dear "maquis", these popular restaurant bars emblematic of the Ivorian economic capital, reopened after almost two months of closure due to coronavirus, but the crowd remained moderate.
" I am so happy ! We let off steam, we relax, we needed it! Exclaims Estelle Lebehi, a client of the maquis Chez Gnawa, a large establishment in Yopougon, the great popular commune of Abidjan, beating heart of its famous nightlife. This young client advisor went out “with girls” with half a dozen friends. At their table, a basin filled with cold beers.
But despite the DJ at the stop and the music playing, the atmosphere was much calmer than usual, that is to say before the coronavirus crisis which led the Ivorian State to decree a curfew and close all the maquis in mid-March. The government estimated the epidemic contained - 2,017 cases including 24 deaths Friday - it finally lifted the restrictive measures. There were only a hundred customers at Gnawa, while this large semi-covered establishment can accommodate up to 700.
8:24 a.m .: Where do you go?
Whether in the green, at sea or in the mountains, the French will be able to take a breath of fresh air on Saturday for the first post-containment weekend, but under conditions and under the watchful eye of authorities calling for caution when dealing with coronavirus . Closed for almost two months, emblematic sites - Mont-Saint-Michel, Chartres Cathedral - are once again accessible, but to nearby visitors, escapades are only authorized within the limit of 100 km, and in the respect for barrier gestures.
Swimmers, boaters, fishermen on foot and surfers can find their way to the beaches, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic and the English Channel. No question, however, of sunbathing or picnicking: they are reserved for a "dynamic" use, warned the authorities, who prohibited sports and collective games there.
Hello everyone ! You are there ? No, because it is the first weekend of deconfinement, we are asking ourselves the question ... Be aware, however, that you can count on us to give you the latest news on the pandemic. The weekend team is reunited again: Rachel Garrat-Valcarcel then Jean-Loup Delmas at the helm.
