France reports new coronavirus clusters amid concerns over laxity

France has identified 372 coronavirus clusters since May officials have said, with the number of hospital admissions notably in Paris on the increase. More than half of the new infections were detected through mass testing efforts to identify early outbreaks of the illness. 'The virus continues to spread in the territory, as shown by the number of new clusters,' France's public health agency warned Monday, saying that it had identified 372 coronavirus cases since 9 May. A third of these clusters remain active, and are situated in zones such as the Ile de France region and Nouvelle Aquitaine, which regroups 12 departments.
