PARIS (Reuters) – The number of new coronavirus infections and the number of people in hospital with the virus in France again dropped sharply as a national lockdown went into its fourth week.
The health ministry reported the number of new cases rose by 9,155 to 2.15 million, compared to 4,452 on Monday – when numbers are usually low due to weekend reporting lags – and compared to 45,522 last Tuesday.
