President Emmanuel Macron says France facing coronavirus ‘epidemic’

President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that France was preparing for a jump in the number of coronavirus cases, adding “we are going to have to deal with it as best we can.” “We are facing a crisis, an epidemic that is coming,” Macron said while visiting staff at the La Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris, where the first French person carrying the new coronavirus died Tuesday.

“We know that we’re only at the beginning… we’re going to try with all our caretakers to make the right decisions,” Macron said alongside Health Minister Olivier Veran.
