Nine first cases of Covid-19 were detected on Sunday in New Caledonia where strict confinement of two weeks was announced by the president of the local government and the High Commissioner of the Republic.

These cases were identified during investigations carried out due to the detection the day before in the neighboring archipelago of Wallis and Futuna of the first indigenous case.

In the past 24 hours, 170 people have died from Covid-19 in hospital, according to government data.

Since the start of the epidemic, 88,444 deaths have been recorded in France, including 25,174 in nursing homes or medico-social establishments.
