Coronavirus death toll in France nears 14,400
France has reported a drop in coronavirus deaths on the previous 24 hours, with the total toll from the coronavirus epidemic in the country now 14,393.

France’s overall death toll from the coronavirus has risen to nearly 14,400 – but for the fourth day in a row, slightly fewer people were admitted into intensive care.

The reduction by 35 people gave health officials a reason to grasp for good news ahead of a likely likely announcement to the nation Monday by President Emmanuel Macron.

The French president is expected to announce the lengthening of a country-wide lockdown which began on March 17 and were renewed two weeks later.

Of the 31,836 people currently hospitalized for COVID-19, more than 1,600 were admitted in the past 24 hours, the Health Ministry said Sunday.
