  • Pandemic: In good weather, the French relax in complying with confinement measures

France has surpassed 10,000 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday with a total of 10,328 deaths since March 1, 1,427 more than this Monday , said the director general of Health, Jérôme Salomon .

Of these, 7,091 occurred in hospitals, 597 in the last 24 hours alone, and another 3,237 in nursing homes and dependency centers. Although in the latter case there are 820 more deaths than yesterday, Monday, that figure does not necessarily correspond to new deaths in that period because the Executive is gradually receiving data from these centers and, without yet having data from all the institutions , offers the latest update available.

Health authorities specified that across the country there are 78,167 confirmed coronavirus cases, 3,777 more in one day , as well as 30,027 people hospitalized and of them 7,131 in intensive care units.

The confinement began in France on March 17 and is currently scheduled until April 15. To the signed declaration that the French must carry with them to justify the departures from their homes, a new certificate will be added starting this midnight that controls access to the national territory, both in the Hexagon and overseas.

That document must be presented to the transport companies and at the arrival controls and will be required on international trips from abroad to metropolitan or overseas France and also from the Hexagon to those latter territories, as reported by the Ministry of the Interior this Tuesday. .

In this certificate, available on the internet, the interested party must specify whether the trip occurs for imperative reasons of a personal or family nature , for a health emergency or for professional reasons.

"I am aware that confinement is difficult for many French people to carry, but it is essential if we do not want to find ourselves in a situation that would be even worse than the current one," Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said today in the National Assembly.
