Coronavirus: two new deaths in Oise and Aisne


The death toll now stands at 6 deaths in France. The Ministry of Health announced on Thursday two more deaths from the coronavirus epidemic. It is a 73 year old from Oise and a 64 year old from Aisne.

92 new cases were also confirmed this Thursday on French territory. So far, 377 positive cases have been confirmed since the end of January. The increase observed between Wednesday and Thursday is the largest in a day since the start of the crisis.

Soon stage 3 triggered?

The previous dead were, in order, an 81-year-old Chinese tourist (February 14), a 60-year-old teacher from a college in the Oise (on the night of February 25 to 26), a 89-year-old woman years whose death was announced Monday (she had been tested after his death at the hospital of Compiègne) and a 92-year-old man who was part of the grouping of cases in Morbihan (Tuesday).

France is currently in stage 2 in the management of Covid-19 infection. Given the scale of the new infections and the number of outbreaks, the transition to stage 3 seems likely, as the government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye herself said.

“Slowing this spread (of the virus, editor’s note) is to mitigate the impact on the population during the transition to stage 3, the peak of the epidemic will be all the more limited,” explains the Ministry of Health, which seems thus take for granted a future passage to the higher stage of the fight against the disease.
