(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) French deaths rose to 23,293 cases
China News Agency, Paris, April 27 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 27th local time, the cumulative number of deaths from French new coronary pneumonia rose to 23,293. How the "unblocking" plan that has attracted attention from all walks of life in France has caused controversy in the parliamentary vote.
The French Ministry of Health has not held a press conference in the past two days and directly released the statistics of the epidemic situation. According to the latest data on the evening of the 27th, France had 437 new deaths on the same day, and the cumulative deaths rose to 23,293, including 14,497 hospital deaths and 8796 deaths in nursing homes.
The current number of inpatients is 28,055, including 4,608 severely ill patients. The number of inpatients and severely ill patients continues to decline slowly. In the Paris region, where the French epidemic was the worst, the death toll rose to 5,715, with 151 deaths on a single day on the 27th. The critically ill patients in the Greater Paris area slowly fell to 1842.
French pharmacies have been allowed to sell "mass masks" since the 27th, which is officially advertised as "multiple use" masks. Ordinary surgical masks or FFP2 masks are still available to medical staff. The French Ministry of Health's recommended price for "mass masks" is 2 to 5 euros each.
French Prime Minister Philippe is scheduled to announce the government's plan to "unblock" the National Assembly (lower house of parliament) on the 28th. According to the current arrangement, representatives of various parties of the National Assembly will hold a two and a half hour debate and then proceed to vote. Many members of opposition parties strongly opposed the vote on the 28th and requested that the vote be postponed until the 29th. At present, the relevant requirements of the opposition parties are not officially accepted by the French.
Another opposition party member asked for a separate vote on the "unblocking" program involving electronic applications that track contacts of new coronaviruses, but the request was not accepted. The National Assembly will vote on the "unblocking" plan as a whole instead of split voting.
The French government's "unblocking" plan will be concerned about how to return to school and resume classes, how to resume work and production, how to restore public transportation, how to supply masks and strengthen virus detection. (Finish)
