Key Points

COVID-19

• Continued rise in epidemic activity amid a slight increase in testing.

• Viral circulation is rising sharply among those aged 65 and older, with a more pronounced increase in the incidence rate in the Oise department (+85%)

• Significant increase in the incidence of visits to sentinel network physicians for acute respiratory infections and flu-like syndromes (ARI)

• In hospitals, a slight increase in new admissions for suspected COVID-19 in general wards and emergency departments

• Vaccination coverage among the most vulnerable (over 60) eligible for the second booster is slightly up, but remains insufficient and needs to be strengthened

Bronchiolitis

• Transition to the pre-epidemic phase with increased activity at SOS Médecins and in the region’s emergency departments
