Key Points

COVID-19

• SOS Médecins continues to see a decline in activity that began in Week 41, though the decline is less pronounced than that between Weeks 41 and 40. This decline is also evident, to a lesser extent, in emergency departments. Activity rates for both sources remain low compared to the same period in previous years.

Bronchiolitis (Under 1 Year)

• Non-epidemic activity. As winter surveillance begins, bronchiolitis-related activity remains low in hospital emergency departments, with emergency department visit rates lower than in previous years during the same period.

Influenza and Flu-Like Illness

• Non-epidemic activity. The monitored indicators for influenza and influenza-like illnesses have remained low and stable over the past few weeks in hospital emergency departments. The virology laboratories at the Brest Regional University Hospital (CHRU) and the Rennes University Hospital (CHU) have been sporadically detecting influenza A viruses for several weeks.

Asthma

• In Week 43, activity levels in emergency departments remained stable compared to Week 42 across all age groups. Activity among children under 15 years of age, combined, has decreased in emergency departments.
