The Paris local municipality said on Monday that it would look to make free COVID-19 testing available in all of the capital's 20 districts (arrondissements), as authorities battle against signs of a re-emergence of the virus in France.
The Paris mayor's office added in a statement that from Monday onwards, there would be three permanent laboratories set up to conduct free COVID-19 tests, as well as two other mobile laboratories that would go around the capital.
France reported 5,413 new confirmed coronavirus cases on Sunday, slightly down from the 5,453 seen on Saturday.
The health ministry said the cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths rose to 30,606 from 30,602 reported on Saturday.
The number of people in hospital with the disease was 4,535 versus 4,530 the day before and the number in intensive care rose to 402 from 400.
