PARIS: France reported 4,711 new coronavirus infections over the past 24 hours on Thursday , a post-lockdown record and a level last seen during the height of the epidemic in France, but the number of people in hospital with the disease fell.
Since then, the number of new infections per day has crept up to about 1,000 by the end of July, with an acceleration from mid-August. The seven-day moving average now stands close to 3,000, a level last seen mid-April. Despite the soaring infection rate, the number of people in hospital with COVID-19 has been relatively stable, falling by another 58 to a new post-lockdown low of 4,748, while the number of people in intensive care edged up by six to 380, a level it has been at for nearly a month.The government has said this is due to the fact that the virus is now mainly circulating among young people, who typically do not develop serious symptoms.
