France's coronavirus death toll higher than official data shows, hospital chief says
BY REUTERS
PARIS EUROPE MAR 25, 2020 1:15 PM GMT+3

The death toll in France from the coronavirus is much higher than the daily government tally, which only accounts for those dying in hospitals, a senior French health official said on Wednesday.

France reported a cumulative 1,100 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, up from 91 on March 14, a more than tenfold increase in 11 days and an average increase of 28% per day, data tracked by Reuters shows.

"We only know the data provided by hospitals," Frederic Valletoux, president of the French Hospitals Federation, said on France Info radio.

"The increase in the official data is already major, but the absolute numbers would no doubt be effectively much higher if we aggregated what is happening in retirement homes as well as the people who die at home or who are not counted."

France like other nations has already imposed a nationwide ban on non-essential movement and closed schools and restaurants in a bid to stop the spread of the pandemic.

The military operation, named "Resilience", will focus on "aiding and supporting the population, as well as helping public services face the epidemic in mainland France and overseas", Macron said on Wednesday.

"Unity and courage will allow us to overcome this, we are only at the beginning, but we will hold out," Macron added, declaring that France was "at war".

The comments came after the president visited a military field hospital set up by the army in the eastern Mulhouse region which has been badly hit by the coronavirus.

"The whole nation has been mobilised" in the fight against the disease, said a masked Macron, who also promised more investment for hospitals.

France has reported 1,331 official coronavirus deaths since the first case was reported in January. More than 11,500 people have tested positive for the virus.

The government will announce over the coming days for how long the country's lockdown measures would continue, spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye said.

What is the latest assessment of coronavirus in France?

The coronavirus in France is claiming more and more victims, with a number of new patients who continue to follow the same trend for several days and a number of cases which doubles every three to four days. The latest assessment of the coronavirus in France was communicated this Sunday March 29 in the evening. Here are the key figures:

40,174 cases confirmed by screening tests, i.e. an additional 2,599 cases in 24 hours.
19,311 hospitalizations , or 1,691 more in 24 hours.
4,592 people in intensive care in serious condition, 359 more in 24 hours.

Director General of Health J?r?me Salomon, who spoke this Sunday evening, spoke of "a severe and deadly epidemic, with rapid dissemination". He believes that we must focus on the 359 serious patients who have gone into intensive care today. "This is the most important element to watch because it reflects the dynamics of the epidemic. It is this indicator that we will analyze to see the effects of the containment measures by the end of this week," said he. "If the containment measures and barrier gestures have been respected, we should see a reduction in the number of people entering intensive care by the weekend."

What are the things to remember this Sunday, March 29?

Christophe in intensive care . The singer Christophe, 74, was hospitalized and admitted to intensive care because of "respiratory insufficiency" said this Sunday his entourage to AFP.
Death of Patrick Devedjian . The president of the Hauts-de-Seine region and former minister, Patrick Devedjian, died of the coronavirus, we learned Sunday morning. He was diagnosed with Covid-19 and placed under observation on Wednesday in a hospital in the department. He was 75 years old. On Thursday, he praised on Twitter the "exceptional work of doctors and all caregivers". He said he was "tired but stabilized thanks to them". "I go back up the hill and send them a very big thank you for their constant help to all the patients," he added. Since the announcement of his death, tributes have multiplied.

Increase in the fine. According to a decree dated March 28 and published in the Official Journal on Sunday March 29, the fine for non-compliance with confinement remains at 135 euros. However, in the event of recurrence within the following fifteen days, it increases to 200 euros. Finally, in the event of an increase, that is to say if it is not paid, the fine will increase to 450 euros. This fine for non-compliance with confinement may be intended for you if you never have your certificate of derogatory displacement on you, if you do not respect the more restrictive measures taken by the prefects such as curfews, or if you you're going to a gathering of over 100 people.

Patient transfer.Two new medical TGVs were responsible for transferring 36 hospital patients to Mulhouse and Nancy, in New Aquitaine, a region which remains the least affected by the coronavirus epidemic for the time being.

Covid-19: four cases found in the Amazon warehouse in Br?tigny-sur-Orge

Many employees of the American giant denounce the absence of precautionary measures in the face of the epidemic. What the management of the group denies while confirming the number of patients.

By Nolwenn Cosson
On April 1, 2020 at 19:06 , as amended on April 1, 2020 at 19:19

The American giant Amazon would it endanger its employees? This is what the CGT ensures, which has just sent a letter to the prefecture of Essonne. “We are asking for the immediate closure of the Br?tigny-sur-Orge warehouse [Editor's note: which employs 2,500 people]. A closure which will have to be maintained until the precautionary measures are put in place to protect the employees ”, indicates Ollivier Champetier, secretary general of the CGT. Response from the State services: "This type of report falls within the exclusive competence of the labor inspectorate which has also been contacted by this union".

This Tuesday, in an internal email that we have obtained, the site management informs the employees that "three new cases [have been] tested positive for Covid 19 on the site, which brings the total to 4". One of them, in a coma, is currently hospitalized in ?tampes. "A week ago, he was still working there," says Ollivier Champetier.

Management also writes: “These people have not been on the site for several days and all preventive security measures have been immediately taken, in accordance with the recommendations of the Regional Health Agency. In particular, we have individually informed all the people who have been in close and prolonged contact with these people, so that they can stay at home at 100% paid for a period of 14 days ”.

Enough to calm fears? Not so sure. For several days, the CGT telephone has not stopped ringing. At the end of the line, employees who say they are worried. "There is no hydroalcoholic gel, no gloves, and even fewer masks," said the union representative. In the photos and videos we sent, we see the staff gathered together, or even clapping their hands. "

PARIS (Reuters) - The total number of deaths from the coronavirus in France reached a new high on Saturday as the government included more previously unreported deaths in nursing homes.

The health ministry reported 441 new deaths from COVID-19 in the country’s hospitals on Saturday - less than the high of 588 reported on Friday - for a total hospital death tally of 5,532.

For the third day in a row, the ministry also reported the cumulative tally of deaths in nursing homes since the start of the epidemic in early March, which were previously unreported.

This added another 2,028 deaths to the national tally for a total death toll of 7,560, an increase of 1,053 on the cumulative figure reported on Friday.

Previously unreported, nursing home deaths now make up nearly a third of total coronavirus deaths.

“This pandemic is totally unprecedented. It is imperative that people respect confinement, now is not the time to ease up,” health ministry director Jerome Salomon said at a daily briefing.

Salomon said that confirmed coronavirus infections in hospitals rose by another 4,267 cases to 68,605 - up 7% but slower than Friday’s 9%.

But he also said that the number of “confirmed or possible” cases in nursing homes rose by 20% to 21,348. Salomon did not give a breakdown between confirmed and possible cases.

Adding hospital and nursing home cases, France has a total of 89,953 confirmed or suspected cases. Epidemiologists say the case count is hard to compare to other countries as some have more extensive testing policies than France.

Salomon said 28,143 people were in hospital with COVID-19 infection. That number showed a net 711 more admissions compared with the previous day after 2,111 people were discharged.

A total of 6,838 serious coronavirus cases were in intensive care units, he said. In the past 24 hours, 502 new cases were admitted to intensive care - an increase of 3% - compared with 641 the previous day and 729 on Thursday.

“This slowdown of the increase is good news but we want a decrease. We still have more patients coming into ICUs every day which means more pressure,” he said.
