In its daily report, this Friday May 14, Public Health France announced 7,025 new contaminations in the Covid-19 recorded in the last 24 hours, in France. A figure that is not comparable to last week (19,124 on May 7). This number of new cases is indeed underestimated because of the Ascension Bridge, where a low number of tests were carried out.
At the hospital, the decline continues, with 4,352 patients in intensive care. Despite the Ascension Bridge, nearly 600,000 doses of vaccine have been administered in the past 24 hours. The famous goal of 20 million first-time vaccinated in mid-May, would be achieved tomorrow, wrote the Minister of Health Olivier Véran on his account Twitter.
