Since the start of the coronavirus epidemic in 2020, the number of people dying from the disease has continued to rise. In France, we passed the 150,000 mark this Friday, July 8, 2022.

The true number of Covid-19 deaths worldwide is difficult to count, so devastating has the disease been in every country of the world since 2020. On Friday, July 8, 2022, Santé Publique France announced that the 150,000 mark had been passed in France - a terrible and symbolic threshold, as a new wave sweeps across France.

While the number of deaths due to coronavirus had stagnated for several months, the arrival of the BA.5 variant in Europe has triggered a sharp rise in reinfections, according to Santé Publique France. In 24 hours, 74 new deaths were recorded in hospitals. The health agency strongly recommends compliance with sanitary measures, in particular the wearing of masks during transport, during the summer.

Few French people have not been ill since the start of the epidemic, which explains the rise in reinfections, up by almost 12% in recent weeks. Since the arrival of the Omicron variant, these cases have been rising steadily, whereas previously they represented just 4 .1% of all confirmed cases of Covid-19.
