Coronavius in France: Contagion cases doubled every two weeks, hospitals on alert

Like other European countries, France has faced a new increase in coronavrus cases, while the government has promised to increase tests and strengthen measures in high - infection areas to avoid a return of the general blockade imposed earlier in the year.

The director of hospitals in the Paris region, Martin Hirsch, said that despite a lower rate of infections compared to spring, the number of hospital stretchings is doubling every month.

“Rasts doubled every three days in early March, while now doubling occurs every two weeks. At least that's how we agreed last week. In our hospitals, the seating rate doubles every three weeks or every month, so it's doubling more slowly, and that's why we're not feeling the same degree of urgency that we feel in the spring. But again the numbers are growing, so we want to change this trend and we can do it”, Hirsch said.

The government has called on citizens to be more careful, especially in private events. In an article published in a newspaper on Sunday, 6 doctors urged them to avoid it.

Death balance since the beginning of this year in hospitals and homes of elderly people in France has reached 30,916 and 6 registered deaths in the last 24 hours.
