A medical worker, wearing protective suit and face mask, administers a nasal swab to a patient at a drive-through testing site for coronavirus disease near the hospital in Laval, in Mayenne department, France on Jul 15, 2020. PARIS: France registered 3,776 new COVID-19 infections on Wednesday , marking another post-lockdown peak and bringing the total to 225,043, but President Emmanuel Macron again ruled out imposing another national lockdown.
Some medical experts are worried about the impact of Paris St Germain fans' wild, mask-less celebrations on the Champs Elysees avenue in central Paris after their soccer club reached the Champions League final on Tuesday. Despite the surge in infections, Macron told Paris Match magazine in an interview that"local strategies" were preferable to another national lockdown, which he said would cause considerable"collateral damage".The seven-day moving average of the case tally, which smooths out daily reporting irregularities, is now at 2,621, above the 2,500 threshold for the first time since Apr 19, when France was enforcing one of Europe's strictest lockdowns.
