The incidence rate in Haute-Corsica is as high as 722 infected persons per 100,000 inhabitants.
The health department believes that the increase in the incidence is due to the rapid spread of the delta strain of the new coronavirus mutant.
French officials call on the public to speed up the vaccinations against the new crown.
French Prime Minister Castel visited Seine-Saint-Denis and other places near Paris on the 27th to check the local vaccination situation.
He visited a vaccination center, which can be entered without an appointment, and aims to vaccinate as many local people as possible.
Seine-Saint-Denis is a province with a low rate of vaccination coverage.
Castel said that official agencies should approach the crowd to serve and persuade more people to get vaccinated.
He said that the current vaccination schedule should be maintained to achieve the goal of vaccinating at least one dose of 50 million people by the end of August.
Official French data show that 40.71 million people in France have received at least one dose of vaccine, accounting for about 60% of the French population; 34.02 million people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for about 50% of the French population.
