France reports 319 more virus deaths, PM warns 'battle only starting'

Emergency medical personnel carries a patient affected with coronavirus from a military hospital to an ambulance in Mulhouse, eastern France. AFPFrance on Saturday reported 319 more deaths in hospital caused by the coronavirus, bringing the total toll of the epidemic in the country to 2,314.

There are now 37,575 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in France, up 4,611 on the day before, according to a daily update published by the government.Both the death toll and the number of infections are likely higher than the official figures. The number of those who died counts only those who died in hospital -- not retirement homes or at home -- while only those deemed at high risk are currently being tested.

He said France's twin aims were to increase its intensive care capacities and to flatten the curve of the virus's spread. Veran vowed that France would ramp up its testing in the weeks to come, promising that there would be 50,000 traditional tests and 30,000 rapid ones carried out daily by the end of April.

With the government criticised for a lack of sanitary masks -- especially for health workers -- Veran added that France had now ordered a billion of them, including notably from China. He said that France was only able to produce eight million masks a week."Our reserves are not infinite," he added.
