France records drop in daily virus deaths, less patients in intensive care

PARIS — France reports 367 new coronavirus deaths, bringing the country’s toll since March 1 to 23,660 but with the number of people in intensive care continuing to decline.

The daily toll is lower than yesterdays’s 437, and came as the government announces plans to cautiously lift France’s epidemic lockdown from May 11. The health department says there are 221 fewer people in intensive care from a day earlier.
