France reported its highest one-day death toll from coronavirus since April, as President Emmanuel Macron readied new measures to control the spread of the disease.
Prime Minister Jean Castex plans to present “vital” new measures to both houses of parliament on Thursday. Cases in France are rising exponentially, government spokesperson Gabriel Attal said after a meeting with parliamentary leaders. In the next two weeks, the level of patients in intensive care may rise to the peak level of the first wave, he said. France reported a high of 7,148 Covid-19 patients in ICU on April 8.
Covid-19 patients now occupy 57.5% of France’s intensive care beds, rising by almost 3 percentage points from Monday and up from 42.9% a week ago, according to health authorities.Italy, the government approved a package of measures on Tuesday to support businesses hit by new restrictions, hours after daily infections hit a new record and Covid-19-related deaths jumped.
In an effort to curb the resurgent outbreak, Conte on Sunday ordered bars and restaurants to close by 6pm and shut gyms, cinemas and swimming pools, triggering protests against the closures in several cities.
