Key Points

COVID-19

Following the sharp rise in the incidence rate that began in week 52 of 2021, the incidence rate continued to decline for the fourth consecutive week in week S08-22. It nevertheless remains high at 770 new cases per 100,000 residents. The decline is therefore continuing, but at a slower pace than in previous weeks.
