Macron Says France 'At War' with Covid-19 coronavirus



France will step up coronavirus testing methods as the death toll climbs. French health authorities are improving measures to test the population for the Covid-19 virus, with 7,730 cases and 175 deaths confirmed as of early Tuesday.

"The daily capacity to test patients for the coronavirus has gone from 2,000 to 2,500," France's health ministry said on Tuesday.

There is expansion of testing in labs across France. The French Health Ministry has reportedly given the green light to all labs in French cities to use the test. Previously, only hospital labs were equipped to do so.
