The number of new cases of Covid-19 continues its rather high trend, with 11,533 cases reported in 24 hours according to figures published Sunday by Public Health France, still very far from the 5,000 targeted by the government.

In total, France has registered 2,376,852 cases of Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic.

Saturday there were 13,947, and Friday 13,406.

This daily statistic must be put into perspective, as it is volatile depending on the day of the week, but the average over the past seven days was around 10,400 cases on Saturday.
