At last I've just got data for #France and it's not great as the country passes 5 million infections.
43,284 new cases of #Covid19 which is up on the estimate for last week when FRA had database problems. The figure is also very slightly up on the Saturday two weeks ago.

Worse for #France is the state of ICU wards.
5,769 #Covid19 patients are now in critical care, that's up by a thousand in just 15 days and the highest since last April.
However the total number of Covid sufferers in hospital has fallen slightly for the second day in a row.
