(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) France launched "unblocking" one month after the epidemic was further controlled
China News Agency, Paris, June 11 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 11th local time, France launched the "unblocking" for a month. In the past month, the French New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic has been further controlled, and the number of serious patients and single-day deaths have continued to decline. However, the official called for still being cautious about the epidemic situation and continuing to make good anti-epidemic measures.
According to the latest data released by the French Ministry of Health on the evening of the 11th, there were 29,346 deaths from New Coronary Pneumonia in France, including 18,962 deaths in hospitals and 10,384 deaths in nursing homes and other nursing institutions; 28 deaths on a single day on the 11th and consecutive deaths on a single day 3 days continued to decline.
In France, there were 11,465 inpatients on the 11th, a decrease of 213 from the previous day; 903 patients were receiving intensive care on the 11th, a decrease of 30 from the previous day; there were 425 confirmed cases on a single day on the 11th. France conducts nearly 40,000 new coronavirus tests every day.
However, the epidemic is far from over. The French naval aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle discovered two new confirmed cases. The local health department in Toulon said that a sailor of an aircraft carrier developed symptoms of new coronavirus infection on the aircraft carrier this weekend, and was later diagnosed with the infection. After screening more than 30 people, only one sailor was diagnosed with infection on the night of the 10th. Thousands of people on the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" were diagnosed with the new coronavirus in April, and the aircraft carrier underwent a comprehensive disinfection operation.
As the epidemic eased, French Minister of Economy and Finance Lemer said on the 11th that France should accelerate the pace of gradually resuming economic activities. According to data released by the French National Statistics Department that day, France will lose 500,000 jobs in the first quarter of this year.
Lemaire said that the French economy could resume growth. The number of unemployed people can be reduced, and if everyone starts to work hard now, the French economy will start to rebound from 2021. He also confirmed that France has a responsibility to help vulnerable populations who are in trouble due to the epidemic, saying that this is a priority issue.
France started the "unblocking" on May 11, and entered the second phase of "unblocking" on June 2. If the epidemic continues to be effectively controlled, France will enter the third phase of "unblocking" on June 22, and most economic activities will be expected to resume by then. (Finish)
