The Covid-19 epidemic is currently "controlled" in France declared, on Friday June 5 on France Inter, the president of the scientific council, Pr Jean-François Delfraissy:

“The virus continues to circulate, especially in certain regions […], but it circulates at a slow speed. Where there were roughly tens of thousands of cases, around 80,000 new cases a day in early March before confinement, it is estimated that we are now around 1,000 cases. "

"It shows that there is a significant reduction. And above all, we have all the tools to detect these new cases. We have the tests, we have a whole system of isolation and contact of the contacts, which obviously avoids the extension. "

These statements come as the decline in the number of intensive care patients continues. On Friday evening, the health ministry released an update on the epidemic in France: 18,761 people died at the hospital, 46 more than yesterday. In nursing homes and health-care establishments, 10,350 died, but this figure has not been updated since June 2 and will not be updated until June 9. In total, the Covid-19 killed at least 29,111 people in France.

1,094 patients with severe form of Covid-19 are currently hospitalized in intensive care (compared to 1,361 a week ago), 19 new serious cases have been admitted (compared to 29 a week ago). But the balance remains negative in these services, with 69 patients less than yesterday.
