Key Points

The epidemiological situation regarding COVID-19 in Martinique continues to deteriorate. The rise in SARS-CoV-2 epidemiological indicators continued during the first week of April, reflecting an increase in viral circulation across the territory. The positivity rate reached the alert threshold, and the incidence rate exceeded the alert threshold. Activity remained very high in both hospitals and community healthcare settings. The UK variant is actively circulating in the population, and low-level circulation of the Brazil/South Africa and Nigeria/US variants has been observed.

Individual prevention measures, collective containment efforts, and the acceleration of vaccination are key priorities for addressing this epidemic trend. The region remains classified as having a high vulnerability level.
