France reports 471 more virus deaths, toll tops 4,500

PARIS — France reports 471 more deaths in the hospital from COVID-19, bringing the country’s official toll from the coronavirus epidemic to 4,503.

The French figures include only those who died in the hospital and not those who died at home or in old age homes. However, top health official Jerome Salomon tells reporters that an initial count shows 884 people died in old people’s homes since the epidemic began.
