France virus fatalities top 17,000; hospitalizations down

The coronavirus pandemic has now claimed at least 17,167 lives, including 10,643 in hospital, says France’s director-general of public health Jérôme Salomon.

The number of hospitalizations has, however, gone down for the first time since the start of the outbreak in the country, with 513 people less hospitalized over the past 24 hours, than the day before.
