(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) The cumulative number of confirmed cases in France exceeds 1.74 million and the cumulative number of deaths exceeds 40,000
China News Agency, Paris, November 7 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 7th local time, the new crown virus showed a trend of further spread in France, with a total of 1.74 million confirmed cases and a total of 40,000 deaths.
According to official epidemic data released that night, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in France reached 1,748,705 that day, an increase of 86,852 from the previous day.
The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France is now 40169.
The number of inpatients with the new crown in France approached 30,000 on the 7th, reaching 29,396, an increase of 441 from the previous day; the number of severely ill patients is now 4,410, an increase of 89 from the previous day.
The French virus test positive rate is still 20.6%.
Regarding the substantial increase in the number of new cases in France, the official reason is that "relevant numbers are being revised and indicators are being analyzed."
Public opinion believes that more than 80,000 new confirmed cases should be not only the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day on the 7th, but also the number of confirmed cases that were not summarized in time in the previous few days.
The French Ministry of Health also specifically explained this in the latest epidemic bulletin, acknowledging that the “lack of data feedback on some virus tests” has resulted in “underestimated” the number of newly confirmed cases since October 28.
The communiqué also revealed that “congestion occurred” during the collection of relevant data, resulting in the inability to update relevant figures in a timely manner.
The communiqué stated that it is not yet clear how many confirmed cases have not been summarized in time, but it is certain that the relevant indicators are "very high."
Some analysts believe that failure to summarize the number of confirmed cases in a timely manner may affect the judgment of the epidemic trend.
The French National Assembly finally voted on the 7th to pass a bill extending the health emergency until February 16 next year. The result was 154 votes in favor and 38 votes against it.
French Minister of Health Vilan welcomes the passage of the bill, saying that the government has been given an important responsibility to deal with the epidemic with all its strength.
