Key Points

COVID-19

• Although SARS-CoV-2 viral circulation continues to rise in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the increase is less pronounced this week compared to last week, amid increased testing. This trend is accompanied by a rise in the positivity rate (+1.4 percentage points). Regional rates are higher than those observed at the national level (445 vs. 358 per 100,000 inhabitants). These upward trends are observed in all departments.

• The numbers of new hospitalizations, new admissions to intensive care, and deaths are increasing for the first time after several weeks of stability or decline. However, these increases remain modest.
