PARIS - President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that France was preparing for a jump in the number of coronavirus cases, adding"we are going to have to deal with it as best we can".

"We know that we're only at the beginning... We're going to try with all our caretakers to make the right decisions," the President said alongside Health Minister Olivier Veran. France has reported 18 cases so far and two deaths, including an 80-year-old Chinese tourist who was the first casualty of the virus reported outside Asia.

A 55-year-old man from the same region as the teacher, who also had not travelled to an outbreak zone, was also hospitalised with the virus, and investigations are under way to try to find the source of the infections on French soil.
