(Combating New Crown Pneumonia) French confirmed cases increase to 1,126 cases
China News Agency, Paris, March 8th (Reporter Li Yang) The number of confirmed cases of French new crown pneumonia exceeded 1,000 on the 8th local time, reaching 1126, and the number of deaths increased to 19. French officials announced that night banning more than a thousand people.
On the evening of the 8th, French President Macron convened a meeting of the National Defense Commission to determine the development of the epidemic. The outbreak data on that day was sent directly by the Ministry of Health in the form of notification, which was earlier than the usual daily data deadline. Therefore, the new cases on the 8th In 177 cases, the number of deaths increased by 3 persons.
The meeting of the National Defense Commission was held at 6 pm that night and ended at 8.30 pm. President Macron, Prime Minister Philip, Health Minister Villan, and Minister of Home Affairs Kastane attended the meeting. The meeting focused on the development of the epidemic and the measures to be taken.
Health Minister Villan held a press conference at the presidential palace, announcing that France banned rally activities of more than 1,000 people at the national level, and how to handle "beneficial activities of the country" such as public transportation will be left to the local government. This is by far the most specific regulatory measure announced in France against the new coronary pneumonia.
Wieland said that France is still in the second stage of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus, and the priority of the current health department is still trying to prevent the further spread of the virus, which he said is an important means of protecting the elderly and infirm. He also said that medical institutions will promote telemedicine services.
The French people are very concerned about the official prohibition of rally activities of more than a thousand people, and have asked whether cultural and sports activities such as concerts and sports competitions will continue to be held in the future. French opinion generally believes that what Villan announced that evening was a government executive order, and the specific details will be further implemented by the provincial governments.
Italy, the country with the worst epidemic in Europe, added 1,492 confirmed cases on the 8th, the total number of confirmed cases increased to 7,375, and the number of deaths increased to 366. Blockade measures were taken urgently in many areas including northern Lombardy in Italy. The number of confirmed cases in the provinces of Oroa and Pualand, near France, continues to rise. Some French experts said in the interview that France does not have to close the city on a large scale like Italy. (Finish)
