(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) French deaths increase to 22,614 cases with virus detection target 700,000 times per week
China News Agency, Paris, April 25 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 25th local time, the cumulative deaths of French new coronary pneumonia rose to 22,614. French Minister of Health Vilan announced that the new French crown virus detection target is 700,000 times a week.
According to the latest epidemic statistics released by the French Ministry of Health that night, there were 369 new deaths in France that day, and the cumulative deaths rose to 22,614, including 14,050 deaths in hospitals and 8,564 deaths in nursing homes.
The current number of inpatients is 28,222, of which 4,725 are critically ill patients. The number of inpatients and critically ill patients is still declining slowly. In the Paris region, where the French epidemic is most severe, the death toll rose to 5,516, and 64 deaths on a single day on the 25th, the first time in recent days that it has fallen below 100. There are still 1913 serious patients in the Greater Paris area.
French Minister of Health Vilan visited the local medical biology laboratory on the northern outskirts of Paris on the 25th, and delivered a speech there, announcing that the French virus detection goal is to achieve 700,000 times per week after May 11. He said that the current number of virus tests in France is 300,000 to 350,000 times a week, and will gradually increase to 500,000 times a week in the next two weeks.
Wieland reiterated that it was impossible to conduct a virus test for all French people. France is working hard to increase the number of virus tests and narrow the gap with Germany. Agence France-Presse reported that Germany has increased virus detection to 500,000 times a week by the end of March, and early detection has helped Germany maintain a relatively low number of deaths to some extent.
The French Prime Minister ’s Office announced on the 25th that Prime Minister Philippe will submit a specific plan for “unblocking” to the National Assembly (lower house of parliament) on the 28th. The National Assembly will then vote on the relevant plan. At present, there are still two weeks left before the expiration of the control measures on May 11. Various French circles are still discussing the "unblocking" measures. The focus is still on how schools resume classes, whether restaurants are open, and public transportation is restored.
The 25th is the 40th day that France took control measures such as "closing the city." French President Macron said on the same day that it is normal for people to feel anxious. He said that if the people need psychological support, please feel free to talk to relatives, friends, professionals or call the official hotline for help. (Finish)
