Key Points

• The initial resurgence of the epidemic observed four weeks ago among those under 20 has been confirmed across all age groups, with a slowdown among those over 70 in S22.

• Coastal areas, particularly in the west, are the most affected, while the situation in the Oyapock region remains stable.

• The BA.2 sublineage of the Omicron variant remains by far the most prevalent; however, it is worth noting the emergence of six locally transmitted cases of infection with the BA.5 sublineage in weeks S21 and S22, compared to a single imported case in previous weeks, warranting vigilance in the coming weeks.

• The proportion of hospitalizations for COVID-19 has remained stable and at a low level since early March.

• Vaccination coverage continues to stagnate across the entire country.
