COVID-19

Epidemiological indicators of the COVID-19 pandemic show that SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate at high levels, with a prolonged impact on mortality. Prevention and social distancing measures are essential to combat this pandemic, especially given the identification of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in France. The vaccination campaign targeted residents of nursing homes in late 2020 and is now being expanded to include those aged 75 and older.
