Key Points

COVID-19

Epidemiological indicators of the COVID-19 pandemic show that SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate at high levels. The decline in indicators among older adults suggests that vaccination and the measures implemented are having an impact. It is necessary to maintain prevention and social distancing measures, including among vaccinated individuals, given the identification of new variants.

Influenza

Activity at SOS Médecins and emergency departments related to the flu remains very low. This season, due to the active circulation of SARS-CoV-2, surveillance of flu cases admitted to intensive care has been expanded to include severe cases of COVID-19. No severe cases of the flu have currently been reported in the region by intensive care units.

Bronchiolitis

Activity related to bronchiolitis in children under 2 years of age has reached epidemic levels this week. An increase in activity in emergency departments is being observed.

Gastroenteritis

Activity at SOS Médecins clinics and emergency departments has been increasing for the past 4 weeks, whereas it had previously been well below levels seen in previous seasons.
