(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) France's new confirmed cases in a single day breaks through two thousand epidemic data indicators "worse"
China News Agency, Paris, August 7th (Reporter Li Yang) On the 7th local time, the number of new confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in France exceeded 2,000 in a single day, and the spread of the new crown virus further accelerated. The French health department pointed out that the epidemic data indicators are "deteriorating."
According to the epidemic data released by the French Ministry of Health that evening, France had 2,288 newly confirmed cases in a single day on the 7th, a three-month high, which was a significant increase from the 1604 newly confirmed cases on the 6th. The total number of confirmed cases in France in the past week was 9,333, which is also a significant increase compared with the previous week.
The French health department's press release pointed out that the epidemic data indicators are "deteriorating" and the spread of the new crown virus throughout the law is "more active", especially among young people.
The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France on the 7th was 30,324, of which 19,188 were hospital deaths. There are still 5,011 hospitalized patients; 383 critically ill patients. The number of cluster infection cases under investigation is 184, with 21 new cases in a single day.
French Minister of Health Vilan went to the Dordogne in southwestern France to inspect the local fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. France is currently being hit by a new round of heat waves, and temperatures in many places have returned to 38 to 42 degrees Celsius. Weilan pointed out that even if the high temperature makes it difficult to implement certain health measures, the public must insist on preventing the epidemic.
Vilan said that the number of new coronavirus tests in France is continuing to increase. Now about 600,000 virus tests can be performed every week, an increase of 100,000 times over the previous week, but the increase in the number of tests does not fully explain the current increase in the number of confirmed cases. He therefore asked the public to be vigilant in all places, including workplaces, meeting places, restaurants and beaches.
Villan also said that more and more French cities require masks to be worn on the streets to deal with the risk of the spread of the new crown virus. He pointed out that it is reasonable to "take all possible means" to combat the virus. Marseille, an important French city, and Saint-Tropez, a holiday resort, announced on the 8th that people will be required to wear masks outdoors. (Finish)
