<p>Health authorities reported 9,843 new confirmed coronavirus cases, beating by almost 900 the previous record of 8,975, set six days earlier.</p>
<p>Since the beginning of the month, new cases have gone up by 7,292 each day on average, a figure that blows away the previous record daily average of 3,003 seen in August.</p>
<p>After reaching a low of 4,530 on August 28th, the number of people hospitalised with Covid-19 is again trending upward, with an increase of 93 over the last 24 hours to 5,096, the highest total in more than a month.</p>

<p>That figure has now shot up for 12 days in a row. The number of patients in intensive care units stands at 615, a level unseen since the end of June.</p>
<p>Hospital figures are still very far from peaks reached in April but create renewed strain on the hospital system that might lead authorities to take action.</p>
<p>France&#8217;s decision to put the country under one of Europe&#8217;s strictest lockdowns between March 17th and May 11th was dictated by the need to keep the hospital system from being overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Government spokesman Gabriel Attal said earlier in the day that nothing would be ruled out at Friday&#8217;s cabinet meeting, while President Emmanuel Macron said he hoped any new measures would not be too restrictive.</p>
<p>The number of people in France who have died from Covid-19 infections increased by 19, to 30,813. Thursday&#8217;s figure is lower than the 30+ figure reported in the previous two days but still above the seven-day moving average of 15. -Reuters</p>
