The situation in the face of the coronavirus epidemic remains very delicate in France. "The indicators for monitoring the epidemic on the national territory show a clear deterioration over the last few days", indicates the General Directorate of Health in its daily update. France recorded 30,371 deaths on Wednesday, i.e. 17 additional deaths since the day before. 379 patients linked to Covid-19 are currently in intensive care, against 391 on Tuesday. This slight drop is however offset by the deterioration of several indicators in recent days.
Thus, 19 departments are placed in moderate vulnerability because of the incidence rate. For some, this figure is close to the alert threshold set at 50 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week. The positivity rate of the tests carried out is 2.2%, which confirms the increase in viral circulation in the territory.
