The daily average of cases, muddled recently by reporting glitches/Easter, was stable at 33,422 in 7 days to last night. Nicolas Berrod’s graph shows a slightly different figure up to Monday but illustrates the bumpy plateau France has reached. 4/10
Deaths in the last week have averaged 296.2 a day, compared 315 last week. Acute care has been relatively stable (at a very high level) – 5,984 beds occupied yesterday compared to 5,902 a week ago. Hospital beds occupied rose from 30,868 to 31,086.
