Analysis of the Epidemiological Situation

Viral circulation is clearly on the rise in Martinique, where the epidemiological situation regarding Zika now corresponds to Level 3a of the Psage* for emerging arboviruses: "epidemic phase requiring standard management measures."

The number of clinically Zika-suggestive cases continues to rise in coastal areas (from Saint Laurent du Maroni to the island of Cayenne), which are in an epidemic situation; however, no cases have been reported in the rest of the territory. Hospital activity remains low for the time being. On January 22, the management committee approved the transition to Level 3 of the Psage* for emerging arboviruses for coastal municipalities, corresponding to an epidemic situation.

The epidemiological situation regarding Zika in the community of Saint-Barthélemy corresponds to Level 1c of the Psage* for emerging arboviruses: "no confirmed indigenous viral circulation, with viral circulation in other overseas departments and territories."

In Saint Martin and Guadeloupe, the epidemiological situation regarding Zika corresponds to Level 2 of the Psage* “emerging arbovirus” system: “endemic viral circulation.”
