PARIS - France reported 4,711 new coronavirus infections over the past 24 hours on Thursday , a post-lockdown record and a level last seen during the height of the epidemic in France, but the number of people in hospital with the disease fell.
After lockdown ended on May 10, the number of new infections per day dropped to a low of just 115 on May 24 and the seven-day moving average of new infections - which smoothes out data reporting irregularities - dropped to 272 a few days later, health ministry data show. It said that the percentage of positive tests was increasing and stood at 3.3 per cent in the week of Aug 11-17, compared to 2.1 per cent in the first week of August, and more than double the 1.5 per cent seen in the last 10 days of July.
