Key points

Guadeloupe

Epidemiological indicators stabilized during week 43. The incidence rate stabilized around the alert threshold, against a backdrop of a slight increase in testing. The incidence rate rose sharply in certain age groups, particularly among 10- to 19-year-olds. Two school-based clusters were reported in week 43. The situation remained calm in hospitals. We are therefore seeing the incidence rate stabilize at the alert threshold for the first time after several weeks of consecutive declines.
