Braving Bad Weather, Choppers Continue to Ferry COVID-19 Patients in France

Special chopper services began to fly coronavirus patients out of eastern France. This has become a daily ritual in eastern France as intensive care units there have been unable to cope with the numbers of critically-ill cases and have instead been transferring patients to nearby Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg. The area in eastern France around the city of Strasbourg has seen one of the biggest coronavirus clusters in France.
