France's coronavirus deaths up 35 over three days

PARIS (Reuters) - The number of people who died from coronavirus infection in France rose by 35 to 29,813 over the last three days, health authorities announced Monday and hospitalisations for the disease have followed their long-running downward trend.

For the first time since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, no daily figures were given over the weekend by the authorities, who said that would now be the new procedure.
