With 470 new intensive care admissions on Monday April 26, the 6,000 patient mark has just been crossed in France.

A figure higher than the fall wave which has something to worry about doctors.

There are a total of 30,596 hospitalizations of patients with Covid-19.

In some areas, beds are starting to run out.
