Spain revised its tally down by nearly 2,000 on Monday.
The French health ministry reported on its website that the cumulative death toll rose by 65, or 0.2%, to 28,432. But on a separate ministry website it said the toll went up by 90, or 0.3%, to 28,457.
France's death toll was slightly higher than Spain's between May 12 and May 21, but at the end of last week it dipped below Spain's again for three days. "The virus is finding it increasingly difficult to spread. At some point it does not find enough people who are susceptible to infection," epidemiologist Laurent Toubiana, director of the IRSAN health data institute, said in an interview.
