PARIS (HRNW) – France reported a big fall in its coronavirus toll on Sunday, with 242 deaths in 24 hours, a drop of more than a third on the previous day.
The epidemic has now claimed 22,856 lives in the country since the beginning of March, health officials said.
The number of deaths in hospitals — 152 — was the lowest daily toll in five weeks, they said, while 90 people died in nursing and care homes.
The numbers of COVID-19 victims in intensive care also dropped, but only slightly, to 4,682.
But officials said they were worried by an increase in critically ill patients suffering from other conditions.
