At the regional level

This week, the incidence rate in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region has dropped slightly, remaining above 100 confirmed cases per 10⁵ residents and still below the national rate of 216 confirmed cases per 10⁵ residents. At the same time, there has been a slight decline in the testing rate, although testing remains at a high level (>5,000 per 10⁵). The regional positivity rate has stabilized around 2.5%, indicating that the virus continues to circulate. These trends are observed across all age groups and all departments. The number of new hospitalizations and new admissions to intensive care has declined slightly compared to last week. Reports of outbreaks from medical-social institutions (ESMS) appear to be stabilizing.
