Paris, The <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword> outbreak has infected 2,599 more people and killed 292 others in France, as the country was struggling to contain "a deadly severe epidemic with a rapid-spreading contagious virus," General Director of <keyword id="8977117" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="health-jerome-salomon">Health Jerome Salomon</keyword> said. A total of 40,174 positive cases were confirmed, of which 2,606 died, while 19,354 others were hospitalized, up by 10 percent in the last 24 hours. However, 7,132 infected people have recovered since the virus has been spotted on January 24, Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday. Some 4,632 patients required life support, up by 359 in one day, with 34 percent of them younger than 60 years, according to Salomon. "The figure related to patients entering resuscitation units is the most important data, we must keep an eye on to evaluate our <keyword id="6390515" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="capacity">capacity</keyword> to deal with severe cases, and because it reflects the virus's dynamics and <keyword id="6368587" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="impact">impact</keyword>," he said at a daily press conference on the COVID-19 epidemic. Salomon warned that France was facing "an unprecedented national epidemic resulting in an unprecedented impact on the health system," reiterating the vital need to respect social distancing instruction and to stay at home to avoid hospital saturation. Seeking to free up intensive care beds in the worst-affected regions, two adapted high-speed trains TGV transported 36 patients from <keyword id="286661" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mulhouse">Mulhouse</keyword> and Nancy, east France, to the country's western coast on early Sunday. By cancelling non-essential operations and organising recovery and operating rooms, hospitals offer now 10,000 beds, double the capacity when the outbreak began. The government targets to add 14,500 beds. France, on March 17, has imposed two-week containment to stem contagion. Only journeys for reasons of work, health needs or shopping of necessities are allowed. Public gatherings are banned, schools and universities are closed, all non-essential businesses have shut down, and curfew was imposed in many cities. Tough restrictions on people's movement would remain in place until at least April 15. A further extension would be likely, according to local media reports.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Yannick Agnel, a two-time gold-medal-winning Olympian for France, was arrested on suspicion of rape.</li><li>Prosecutors say Agnel acknowledged having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old when he was 24.</li></ul>A two-time Olympic gold-medal-winning swimmer acknowledged having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl when he was 24, the prosecutor in his case said, according to several news reports.France's Yannick Agnel, 29, was arrested in Paris on Thursday on suspicion of rape and sexual assault, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20211213-french-swimming-star-agnel-admits-to-sex-with-minor-prosecutor">Agence France-Presse reported on Monday</a>.He was handed preliminary charges on Saturday, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-sports-france-arrests-europe-fe000e8f76fc8b2db2799bf4b5b59383">The Associated Press reported</a>. He was taken to the city of Mulhouse — close to the French border with Switzerland and Germany — where a lawsuit against him had been filed.Agnel, who won two gold medals at the 2012 London Games, is accused of rape and coercion in a series of events alleged to have taken place in 2016, the reports say. The girl is the daughter of one of Agnel's former coaches, AFP reported.The allegations involve several locations, including Spain, Thailand, and Brazil, the prosecutor Edwige Roux-Morizot said, according to the AP.The AP quoted Roux-Morizot as saying that Agnel "recognizes the materiality of the alleged facts" but denies the charge of coercion.In France, the age of consent is 15. Earlier this year, the country changed its laws to characterize sex with a child younger than 15 as rape, the AP reported. Before the change, cases involving sex with children under 15 could be prosecuted as rape only if there was proof of coercion through "violence, constraint, threat or surprise," <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/france-sets-age-of-consent-at-15/">a Politico report from April said</a>.

He also won silver in the 4x200-meter free relay and two gold medals at the 2013 Barcelona world championships.France's minister of sport, Roxana Maracineanu, said the case was a "very important subject" for her, <a href="https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1116793/yannick-agnel-olympics-swimmer-rape-case">according to the website Inside the Games</a>."I personally know the person who lodged the complaint, and you can imagine that this affects me," Maracineanu reportedly said."It is a process that must follow its course."The girl's complaint is in the hands of the justice system and must proceed to the end."
