The COVID-19 pandemic appeared to have reached France on 24 January 2020, when the first COVID-19 case in both Europe and France was confirmed in Bordeaux. The first five confirmed cases were all individuals who had recently arrived or returned from China. A Chinese tourist who was admitted to hospital in Paris on 28 January died on 14 February, making it the first Covid-19 death in France. A key event in the spread of the disease across Metropolitan France as well as its overseas territories was the annual assembly of the Christian Open Door Church between 17 and 24 February in Mulhouse which was attended by about 2,500 people, at least half of whom are believed to have contracted the virus. On 4 May, retroactive testing of samples in one French hospital showed a patient had been infected on 27 December, almost a month before the first officially confirmed cases.
