French health authorities reported 2,945 people in intensive care units with COVID-19 on Monday, down by 48 from a day earlier, continuing a virtually uninterrupted fall from a 2021 high of more than 6,000 mid-April.

The total number of people in hospital also dropped by a further 179 to 16,596 as the gradual unwinding of France's third nationwide lockdown showed no sign of increasing the pressure on hospitals and the vaccination campaign sped up.

The health ministry also reported 126 new coronavirus deaths in hospitals, after three days with a hospital COVID-19 death tally below 100.
