France’s coronavirus figures on Monday showed that the rate of increase in fatalities – at almost 9,000 – sped up again after several days of slowing reported Reuters.
France has not yet reached the peak of its COVID-19 epidemic, Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Tuesday.
“We are still in a worsening phase of the epidemic,” Veran told broadcaster BFM TV. He also said that the country’s lockdown would last as long as necessary.
