Key Points

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. It is necessary to maintain prevention and social distancing measures, including among vaccinated individuals, given the emergence of new variants.

Influenza

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

Bronchiolitis

Activity related to bronchiolitis in children under 2 years of age entered the pre-epidemic phase this week. An upward trend in activity at emergency departments and SOS Médecins has been observed over the past few weeks.

Gastroenteritis

Activity at SOS Médecins and emergency departments for gastroenteritis is slightly increasing, though it remains below the trends observed during the previous two seasons.
