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.
