Key Points

COVID-19

• The slowdown in SARS-CoV-2 viral circulation in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté continued for the third consecutive week, with a decline in the incidence rate and positivity rate, amid a decrease in testing. This downward trend appears to be observed in all departments and across all age groups but should be interpreted with caution given the context mentioned above.

• The number of new hospitalizations has been decreasing for the past two weeks, as has the number of new admissions to intensive care, following several weeks of increases. The number of deaths remains stable.

Bronchiolitis

• The region has been in an epidemic phase for the past three weeks

• A very sharp increase in activity in emergency departments and at SOS Médecins clinics

• Activity rates higher than those observed in previous seasons
