Reuters reported that after mid-January this year, the French Ministry of Health did not release data on cumulative confirmed cases. After mid-January, the French Ministry of Health released an average of more than 300,000 new infections per day in seven days, meaning that an average of about 1 million new infections were added every three days.
Between 2020 and 2021, the average daily average of new infections in France rarely exceeded 30,000 in seven days. However, since the end of 2021, with the spread of the new coronavirus variant Omiljun strain, the number of new infections in France has increased rapidly, with the cumulative number of infections exceeding 10 million on January 1 this year.
On January 25 this year, France recorded a record high of 366,000 new infections per day in seven days, and although it has declined, it has remained at a level of just below 300,000.
Data from the French Ministry of Health do not show how many of the infections are secondary or more. Of France's more than 67 million people, 54 million have been vaccinated against at least one dose of COVID-19. (Yuan Yuan)
