PARIS (Reuters) – The number of people who died from coronavirus infection in France rose by 26 to 29,778 on Friday, but people hospitalized for COVID-19 fell below the 9,000 threshold for the first time in more than three months.
That fatalities increase is the highest in three days. France’s death toll is the fifth-highest in the world.
