The number of people hospitalized with the virus in France rises slightly Sunday, the first daily increase since mid-April when France’s infections peaked.
The rise — from 17,178 people hospitalized Saturday to 17,185 Sunday — comes almost two weeks after France started gradually relaxing its confinement measures.
The number of people in intensive care with the virus drops again for the 46th consecutive day to 1,655, down from more than 7,000 in mid-April.
The figures are released by the national health agency, DGS, which does not release an updated death toll on Sundays.
France is one of the hardest-hit nations by the virus, with some 28,000 deaths in hospitals and nursing homes.
Protests are planned Monday at nursing homes accused of mishandling the virus crisis.
