PARIS (Reuters) – France’s Ile-de-France region on Wednesday said that all hospitals are activating an emergency plan due to the strained COVID-19 situation.
The plan includes stepping up the number of ICU beds and, if necessary, reschedule treatments to free up capacities.
With more than 12 million people, the Ile-de-France — with the capital Paris at its centre — is France’s biggest region.
