This is another 4,000 critically ill patients with the new crown in France since November last year, which means that the number of critically ill patients in France has been increasing recently and the intensive care unit is facing greater pressure.
There are now 24,749 hospitalized patients with the new crown in France.
French officials said on the 12th that if necessary, they will not hesitate to strengthen control, especially in the Paris region.
The French Presidential Palace revealed that President Macron has realized that measures such as evacuation of hospitalized patients and cancellation of surgical plans may not be able to reduce the pressure on the medical system, and is considering measures to deal with it, and does not rule out the implementation of a weekend "lockdown" in the Paris Region. Even completely "closed the city."
French Prime Minister Castel pointed out when inspecting the response to the epidemic at a hospital in Paris on the 12th that the medical system in the Paris region is now under great pressure and people must be prepared to strengthen control measures at any time.
He reiterated that the Paris Region will continue to accelerate the pace of new crown vaccination.
Castel checked the intensive care unit of the hospital. The hospital reported to Castel that in order to alleviate the shortage of beds and the shortage of nursing staff, the hospital is reducing the operation plan; the current average time of treatment for critically ill patients is 14.6 days.
The hospital also expressed concern about the severe cases of young patients.
