The number of newly hospitalized patients and the number of critically ill patients in the last 7 days are also decreasing.

Macron announced via social media on the 15th that more than 20 million people had received at least one dose of the new crown vaccine, thus reaching the official vaccination target in mid-May.
The next step set by the French government is to vaccinate 30 million people by June 15.

The number of people who received two doses of vaccination was 8.8 million.
French Prime Minister Castel said during an inspection of a large vaccination center in Paris that he was optimistic about the progress of vaccination.
He thanked the medical staff for their work and called on eligible people who have not yet been vaccinated to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Castel believes that we must continue to "look for the most vulnerable people", that is, the elderly who have not yet been vaccinated or those with related diseases.
There are still 25% of people over the age of 75 who have not been vaccinated.
He also demanded that no dose of vaccine should be wasted.
Data show that the current demand for vaccines is strong, and people have used weekends and holidays to go to vaccination centers for vaccination.
