A new step was taken on Tuesday.
According to official figures, the number of Covid-19 patients admitted to intensive care units in French hospitals has fallen below 2,000.
More exactly, 1,952 coronavirus patients are in these services treating the most serious cases.
You have to go back to October 18 to find a comparable figure (1,939), and at the time, the trend was upward while it is downward now.
All services combined, 12,008 patients are currently hospitalized for the Covid, in constant decline since mid-April.
France has never gone back below the 12,000 mark since October 19.
Over the past 24 hours, 300 people have been hospitalized because of the Covid, including 69 in the emergency services.
At the beginning of April, these daily admissions peaked at values ten times higher (more than 3,000 and more than 600).
30.7 million people have received at least one dose

A total of 16.5 million people have been fully vaccinated, either with two injections or with just one in cases where this is sufficient (for people who have had the Janssen vaccine, the only one requiring only one dose , or for those who have already had the Covid in the past).
