Epidemiological surveillance in Corsica. Update as of August 19, 2020.

Key Points

COVID-19

For several weeks now, epidemiological indicators of SARS-CoV-2 circulation in Corsica have remained below the alert thresholds. Virological data and SOS Médecins figures stabilized in week 33 following the increase observed in week 32, but this trend remains to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Chikungunya, dengue, Zika

Four cases of dengue have been reported in Corsica since the start of the season (May 1) of enhanced surveillance for chikungunya, dengue, and Zika.

Heatwave

No heat wave is forecast in Corsica in the coming days that would warrant a heat wave alert. Activity in emergency rooms and SOS Médecins for conditions potentially related to heat is low in Corsica.

Pollen

The allergy risk across Corsica is considered very low, with the main risk coming from grasses and nettles (1/5).
