The death toll in France from the coronavirus has risen by 242 to 22,856, the health ministry said on Sunday, as the government prepares to see how it might ease a national lockdown that has been in place since mid-March.

The numbers of people leaving intensive care units has also outpaced the numbers of those entering those units. Macron is aiming to ease some of the lockdown measures on May 11 by initially re-opening schools, although the government has yet to finalise how this might work in practice. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is due to present the government’s plan to unwind the lockdown to parliament on April 28, and parliament will then vote on the measures.
