France has crossed the threshold of 10,000 deaths due to coronavirus, according to a government official. 10,328 fatalities have been recorded - 7,091 in hospital and 3,237 in old age homes.
The rate of increase of fatalities is up for the second day running. A total of 7,131 people are being treated in intensive care, head of the public health authority Jerome Salomon said, warning that "the epidemic is continuing its progression".
France has become the fourth country to go beyond the 10,000 threshold after Italy, Spain and the United States. Officials in Paris have announced that they will ban daytime jogging to stop people from bending lockdown rules.
