Key points

Martinique

• Epidemic Phase

• The epidemic, which was declared early in the season, has been on the decline since Week 44, particularly in hospitals; however, community surveillance indicators rose again last week. The situation could take a turn for the worse in the coming weeks as the end-of-year holidays approach.

Guadeloupe

• Situation requiring vigilance

• Community-based influenza surveillance indicators remain at high levels despite a decline observed last week; hospital activity remains low, but an upward trend was observed last week. Guadeloupe is not in an epidemic phase, but the situation could change rapidly.

Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy

• The first suspected cases have been reported in recent weeks; the trend should be monitored closely.
