Key Points

• In the Hauts-de-France region, trends in virological indicators derived from SIDEP data (PCR+TAG) indicate a decline in the epidemic (TI <50 cases/100,000 inhabitants and TP ≈5%) amid a continued decline in testing rates.

• In urban areas, the decline in healthcare utilization and the proportion of activity due to suspected Covid-19 continues across all sectors of the region covered by the SOS Médecins associations.

• In hospitals, new admissions to general and critical care units continue to decline, as do visits to emergency departments and hospitalizations following visits due to suspected COVID-19.

• Currently, less than one-third of people over 60—including one in five people over 80—have “up-to-date” COVID-19 vaccination protection or protection adapted to the Omicron variants.
