The latest data show that the epidemic is continuing its very strong progression.
Thus, in the space of three days, 212 additional people were hospitalized in hospitals in the greater region, bringing the total to 1,977 patients.
376 are in intensive care (+36).
And 1,107 deaths were recorded in hospitals (+87).
The figures for nursing homes, very affected by the disease, are not included in this report.
