Update on the coronavirus in figures. How many people in intensive care are there in France every day? How many hospital deaths since the start of the epidemic? Which regions are most affected?
Answers with figures provided by Public health France.
Number of people in intensive care per day
As of Thursday March 4, France has 3,633 people in intensive care for Covid-19.
Looking at the curve shows that this number peaked on April 8. On that day, 7,019 people were in intensive care or intensive care. This indicator then experienced a continuous decrease, before stagnating at the end of July, then increasing again at the beginning of September.
From October 11, the increase was exponential, reaching a new peak on November 16 (4,903 people in intensive care). The curve then started to fall again for a month. In mid-December, the number of intensive care patients stagnated. It has been rising slightly since mid-January.
Deaths in hospital
Please note, the data presented here takes into account only the deaths linked to Covid-19 that took place in the hospital. The victims in medico-social establishments, including nursing homes, and those who died at home should be added to this sad toll.
Note that the sudden increase of September 18 was caused by the files which had not been transmitted by a hospital in Essonne, and which came to increase the figures according to Public Health France.
By studying the mortality data by sex, we can see that men are much more affected by the coronavirus than women.
THE MOST AFFECTED REGIONS
By taking the figures for the number of deaths and adding the distribution by region, we can see an inequality between the territories. Ile-de-France (15,140 dead) is by far the most affected, ahead of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (9,189) and Grand Est (8,163).
Note the following distribution in the Overseas: Martinique deplores 46 deaths, Mayotte 96, Réunion 76, Guyana 83 and Guadeloupe 181.
