China News Agency, Paris, August 4 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 4th local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 6.2 million. Medical systems in many places are under pressure again due to the deterioration of the new crown epidemic.
According to official data released on the evening of the 4th, France added 28,784 confirmed cases in a single day on the 4th, and the total number of confirmed cases reached 6,207,416. The cumulative number of deaths in France is now 112,046, with 53 new deaths.
The number of inpatients and critically ill patients with the new crown in France continues to rise. The number of hospitalized patients has now risen to 8,134, an increase of 160 from the previous day; the number of severely ill patients is 1,371, an increase of 40 from the previous day.
French President Macron continued to post videos on social media on the 4th to answer questions related to epidemic prevention measures. He reiterated that the use of health passes will be mandatory, but he confirmed that schools do not need to use health passes after the beginning of the new school year. He also said that the school will strengthen virus screening in the new school year; wearing a mask during class in the classroom “helps protect yourself.”
The medical system in many parts of France is under pressure again due to the worsening of the epidemic. Due to the fourth wave of the outbreak, Corsica in southeastern France, Occitane in the south, and Provence-Alpes-La Riviera in southeastern France have successively reactivated the “white plan” of the medical system to cope with the continuation of patients with new crowns Increase.
The Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region re-launched the “White Plan” of the medical system on the 4th. The hospital in Marseilles who treated patients with the new crown said the situation was “very worrying”, and the number of severely ill patients has increased significantly in the past week. At the same time, the newly admitted patients are mainly young patients, especially those who have not been vaccinated.
The medical systems in Occitany and Corsica are facing similar conditions. The incidence of new crowns in the two regions is among the highest in the country, and the number of severely ill patients continues to rise. The “White Plan” aims to strengthen the hospital’s ability to treat patients with new crowns, but the treatment of conventional diseases will be affected as a result.
According to official French data, 43.68 million people in France have received at least one dose of the vaccine, accounting for about 64% of the French population; 36.31 million people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for about 54% of the French population. (Finish)
