Paris: France has registered 464,769 new Covid-19 infections for the past 24 hours, official data shows on Tuesday, the highest tally ever recorded since the start of Pandemi.
The number of people in the intensive care unit declined slightly in the same period to around 3,900.
Meanwhile, the French Parliament on Monday adopted a new set of rules that would need evidence of vaccination for people to eat at the restaurant, attend theater or airplane.
Changes tighten what is called the Health Pass that has been owned by France for months by removing options that allow recent negative tests.
About 80% of the French population has received at least one dose.
