A medical staff member, wearing protective gear, works in the Intensive Care Unit where patients suffering from the coronavirus disease are treated at the hospital in Valenciennes, France, on Apr 22, 2021. PARIS: New COVID-19 cases in France saw the lowest week-on-week increase since early March on Monday , but pressure on hospitals remained high as the number of coronavirus patients rose above 6,000 again for the first time since spring 2020.

President Emmanuel Macron had said at the end of November - when France had about 15,000 new cases per day - that lockdown conditions could be eased if daily new infections fell to 5,000. On Monday - a day when data reporting usually lags due to the weekend - the health ministry reported 5,952 new cases, taking the total to 5.5 million.The government will lift limits on domestic travel from early May and is considering reopening museums and cultural venues, but many doctors say the infection rate is still way too high to start easing control measures.
