A slow decline, but a decline all the same.
According to data released Tuesday by Public Health France, the number of Covid-19 patients in French hospitals continues to decline.
19,430 patients with Covid-19 are currently hospitalized (against 19,701 the day before), including 796 admitted in the last 24 hours.
This figure, which had exceeded 31,000 at the height of the third wave in mid-April, fell back below 20,000 on Saturday for the first time since October 27.
Fewer people in intensive care
This decline is also observed in intensive care.
Critical care services (a name that includes resuscitation, intensive care and continuing care services) have 3,447 patients on Tuesday (against 3,496 the day before).
205 have been admitted since Monday in these services which take care of the most seriously ill patients.
199 dead
The number of patients in critical care remained around 6,000 between mid-April and early May, before dropping sharply since.
199 people with Covid-19 have died in hospital in the past 24 hours (after 70 Sunday and 62 Monday).
