The Covid-19 epidemic continues to spread worldwide: 185 countries affected, more than 1.8 million people infected and nearly 112,000 dead. The United States is the most affected country with more than 530,000 patients and more deaths than Italy (21,400 deaths compared to 19,500 in Italy). Europe remains the epicenter of the pandemic with more than 74,000 deaths. Spain "observes a very beginning of regression" announces Professor Jérôme Salomon during the situation report of April 11. Italy, which lists 156,000 cases and 19,899 deaths, "is continuing a very slow regression of the epidemic", he continued, and extended its confinement until May 3. In France, the results of Sunday evening April 12, according to the press release from the Ministry of Health, are 95,403 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 14,393 deaths: "The epidemic continues in our country in a dynamic way and continues to hit hard In hospitals, the situation remains tense: 31,826 people are hospitalized for COVID-19 infection, or 1,688 more than yesterday, taking into account discharges which are nonetheless more and more numerous. Currently 6,845 cases serious are in intensive care: "The balance, which represents the number of patients to be cared for each day is negative for the fourth consecutive day" specifies the ministry of which confirms that the territory remains in a "beginning of a very high plateau" And to add: "We must remain vigilant because the hospital and intensive care services take care of a very large number of patients. We must not relax our efforts and continue to reduce the number of contacts every day to curb the transmission of the virus all together. Emmanuel Macron should announce next Monday the continuation of the confinement beyond April 15. The effects of confinement are indeed not sufficient enough to envisage its lifting. "The deconfinement is not topical, recalled Jérôme Salomon, because the hospital pressure remains very important whether they are Covid patients but also those who have suffered the consequences of prolonged confinement and who didn't dare go see their doctor. " For people with chronic illnesses or who need follow-up, he reminds them to call their doctor and go to scheduled appointments in hospital settings. Each exit from the home must be justified by a travel certificate, downloadable online and presentable in this form to the police. Paper versions are always allowed. For business trips, this certificate is supplemented by an authorization signed by the employer. The borders of the European Union and the Schengen area are closed to curb the circulation of the virus between people and a certificate must be presented to each person wishing to enter France from April 8.
