Key Points

COVID-19

Given the presence of a holiday, the data should be interpreted with caution. The regional incidence rate, at 140 per 100,000 inhabitants, shows a decrease (-12%), with differing trends between the two departments. The incidence rate is decreasing in Southern Corsica (-26%) and is stable in Northern Corsica (+4%). The testing rate is down sharply (4,301 per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease of 25%), but this is impacted by the suspension of testing in schools. The regional positivity rate, at 3.4%, has increased (+0.5 percentage points) compared to the previous week. The total number of hospitalizations across all departments remains stable at the regional level (+1 additional hospitalization compared to Week 13). The number of people hospitalized in intensive care or continuous care units has increased very slightly (18 hospitalizations vs. 16 in Week 13).
