Key Points

COVID-19

• Community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has stabilized at a high level, while testing rates remain low, against the backdrop of the start of the school year and the upcoming resumption of social and professional activities.

• The incidence rate is equivalent to that of the same period last year, despite testing rates being six times lower and the positivity rate being seven times higher, which calls for vigilance.

• Vaccination coverage among the most vulnerable (over 60 years old) eligible for a second booster remains very low.

Mortality

• In week 32, at the regional level, mortality, all causes and all ages, remains within the expected fluctuations for this time of year.
