The epidemic due to the new coronavirus has killed more than 29,000 people in France, according to the latest report published by the Directorate General of Health. In addition, 13,514 people are still hospitalized for a Covid-19 infection, including 1,210 in intensive care.
The virus is therefore still circulating, as are questions about French "failures", which will be studied under a magnifying glass for six months by the commission of inquiry into the management of the epidemic, set up Wednesday by the National Assembly.
n France, the Covid-19 epidemic has already claimed the lives of 18,671 people in French hospitals, according to data communicated by Santé publique France. To which must be added the 10,350 deaths recorded in nursing homes and other health centers, the data of which have gradually increased since the beginning of April. The number of deaths at home linked to this epidemic is difficult to calculate and is not yet known. But Olivier Véran, the Minister of Health, said that this figure would be the subject of initial estimates "in June".
The number of cured patients displayed here corresponds to the home returns of people hospitalized for the Covid-19. It does not include people who have been infected and are cured at home, which is difficult to quantify.
The 14 July parade replaced by a ceremony
To adapt the celebration of July 14 to health requirements, the traditional military parade on the Champs-Elysées will be replaced by a ceremony on Place de la Concorde, announced the Elysée on Thursday June 4.
The Presidency of the Republic clarified that this ceremony will also pay tribute to the carers. On May 13 in the Council of Ministers, Emmanuel Macron had wished "that the national holiday be an additional occasion to express the homage and recognition of the nation to all those who are engaged in the fight against Covid-19", according to government spokesperson Sibeth Ndiaye.
A request that had already been made by elected LRM and LR in April when they had pleaded for the presence of a "carers' square" but also representatives of "everyday heroes" during the annual military parade.
The ceremony will include "a tight device reduced to 2,000 participants and approximately 2,500 guests", in compliance with the rules of social distancing, according to the Elysee. There are currently no plans to open the event to the general public, but "the situation could be reassessed by July 14" if the health situation is better, the presidency said.
