The Ministry of Health recorded 30,454 injuries, on Tuesday, bringing the total to more than 7.45 million cases, and the seven-day average of new infections increased to more than 20,000 for the first time since August 24.
Health Minister Olivier Veran told members of Parliament, reporting the increase before the figures were published: “Today we will announce 30,000 infections over a period of 24 hours. This is a huge increase in the infection rate, which, unfortunately, indicates that we (entered) already in a fifth wave of the pandemic.” .
New daily infections jumped by 54 percent compared to last Tuesday.
Last week, the regulatory body responsible for health in France said that the umbrella of giving a booster third dose of the vaccine should be expanded to everyone over the age of 40, and the government made the use of the muzzle mandatory in all primary schools again from November 15.
And the number of injuries recorded, Tuesday, in France, is the highest since 30,920 cases were recorded on August 11.
