France surpasses 1 million confirmed virus cases amid spike

PARIS -- French health authorities said France has recorded over one million confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, becoming the second country in Western Europe after Spain to reach that number of known infections.

Experts said the real numbers of infections are probably much higher than the ones governments around the world are reporting because of a lack of tests early in the pandemic, asymptomatic cases and other issues. More than 11,000 new Covid-19 patients have been hospitalized in the past week, including 1,714 who are in intensive care, according to the national health agency.
