Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in France on Monday were almost four times higher than Sunday and new confirmed cases more than doubled over 24 hours, as the country started unwinding an almost two-month national lockdown put in place to contain the spread of the disease.
These figures are bound to feed fears of a possible second wave of infections as the World Health Organization said earlier “extreme vigilance” was needed in countries beginning to exit from lockdowns.
France’s Health ministry said it registered 263 new deaths from the virus, against 70 Sunday. In percentage points, the 1% rise is the highest in five days. But figures often tend to register a spike after the weekend lull.
