Italy continues to be terribly affected by the outbreak, recording its second-highest number of deaths in a day.
France has become the fifth country to report more than 1,000 coronavirus-related deaths – as another 743 people died from the disease in Italy.
The death toll in France stands at 1,100, compared with 860 deaths yesterday – an increase of 240.
A French public health official also said there are 2,516 people needing life support.
Over the same 24-hour period, Italy registered its second-highest number of deaths in a day as it continues to be gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Officials said today that 743 people had died after testing positive, bringing the total to 6,820.
Italy has recorded more coronavirus-related deaths than anywhere else in the world.
More than 69,000 people have tested positive in Italy, with 5,249 new cases reported on Tuesday.
Many of the deaths are in the Lombardy region in the north, with the city of Bergamo the worst-hit.
But for two days running, the percentage increase in the number of cases has stood at around 8% – the lowest rise in percentage terms since the contagion in the country came to light on 21 February.
