China News Agency, Paris, September 16 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 16th local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 400,000.
French President Macron warned that the new crown virus will still spread for several months, and once again called on the public to learn to "coexist with the virus."
The epidemic data released by the French Ministry of Health that night showed that the number of new confirmed cases in France on the 16th in a single day once again approached 10,000, reaching 9784.
The total number of confirmed cases in France exceeded 400,000 on that day, reaching 404,888.
The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France is now 31045, and the number of new deaths in a single day is on the rise.
Data show that the increase in the number of inpatients and critically ill patients in France is accelerating.
At present, there are 5819 hospitalized patients, and 649 new people were added in a single day on the 16th; there are 803 critically ill patients, and 100 new people were added in a single day on the 16th.
French President Macron warned on the 16th that the new crown virus will continue to spread across Europe, especially in France, for several months.
Therefore, there must be correct hygiene instructions, but the most important thing is that the people learn to "coexist with the virus."
Macron said that we know that the virus is still there and it is spreading faster and faster in some provinces, prompting the government to consider implementing the necessary steps to deal with it to protect ourselves and the elderly and infirm.
He once again asked the French people to abide by the various epidemic prevention regulations and prepare for strengthening epidemic prevention and restriction measures.
French Minister of Health Vilan plans to announce the government's plan to respond to the current epidemic on the 17th.
According to the latest polls, most people oppose the re-implementation of control measures throughout the law, but support the adoption of some partial restrictions as the epidemic worsens.
French Education Minister Blanche announced on the 16th that there were 1,200 newly confirmed cases of infection among students in the past week, 81 primary and secondary schools have been closed in France, and 2,100 classes have been suspended.
However, he said that the number of schools affected by the epidemic is still limited.
The recent increase in cluster infections in French universities has caused concern.
French Minister of Higher Education Vidal pointed out that some schools have relaxed their epidemic prevention measures, which has led to the active spread of the virus.
Vidal listed more than 10 schools with relaxed epidemic prevention measures.
She called on students to take responsibility for their personal behavior, especially attending gatherings and other activities with caution.
