THE ESSENTIAL
France is "in a second strong wave" of the Covid-19 epidemic and "there can no longer be any slackening", Prime Minister Jean Castex warned on Monday.
The latest figures still show an overall increase in the number of people in intensive care, with 1,633 patients for a current national capacity of around 5,000 beds.
Faced with the increase in cases, the president, who held a health defense council on Tuesday, could announce new restrictive measures.
