Paris
France’s health director said that 7,560 people have died of coronavirus-related issues in France since the start of the epidemic in the country, including at least 2,028 in nursing homes.
Jerome Salomon spoke Saturday evening during a daily press briefing.
According to these figures, France has experienced 441 more deaths in hospitals in the last 24 hours, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
The information for nursing homes remains incomplete, because not all of them have reported the number of people contaminated or dead because of COVID-19.
He also said that 28,143 people were currently hospitalized -- of which 6838 are in intensive care, accounting for a rise of 176 people in 24 hours in intensive care.
Among the critical patients, 35% are under 60 years old.
“The number of people being cured is also increasing very quickly,” Salomon said.
