Jean Castex said France recorded 35,000 new infections Thursday, a rise of 23.6% in the last week, and that the variant first identified in the UK accounts for three quarters of cases.

Even more worrying, he said, is that the people being hospitalized with the disease are younger and healthier compared to previous waves.
