A patient suffering from a severe form of Covid-19 is carried into a plane by health workers prior to his transfer to a hospital in Bordeaux, on Sunday in Orly, as Paris' regional intensive care units are overloaded with Covid-19 patients. The number of people with COVID-19 in intensive care units on Friday exceeded 4,000 for the first time since November 26, with nearly 1,100 COVID-19 patients in ICUs in the Paris region alone.
