Paris, April 17 (RHC)-- The French Navy has evacuated its flagship nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, where nearly 700 sailors have tested positive for coronavirus.
Earlier this week, France sharply revised its COVID-19 death toll upward to more than 17,000, as nursing homes reported hundreds of additional deaths over Easter weekend.
But for the first time since the start of the pandemic, French hospitals saw the total number of patients decrease.
