PARIS (Reuters) - French health authorities on Monday reported 4,452 new COVID-19 infections over the past 24 hours, down from Sunday's 13,157, with the daily increase decelerating for the fourth day in a row ahead of a possible loosening of the country's second lockdown.

The Monday figure tends to dip as there are fewer tests conducted on Sundays. The seven-day moving average of new infections, which averages out weekly data reporting irregularities, stands at 21,918, dipping below the 22,000 threshold for the first time since Oct. 17.
