French health authorities said yesterday 365 people had died due to a coronavirus infection over the previous 24 hours, bringing the total number of hospital deaths to 1,696. The country’s top health official said nearly 30,000 people had tested positive for the flu-like infection so far nationwide but the number of cases was likely far higher. The teenage girl from the southern Paris region, known only as Julie A, became the youngest French victim of the disease that often afflicts the elderly or people with underlying health conditions, the head of the public health service Jérôme Salomon said.
