Key Points

• In the Hauts-de-France region, virological indicators remain stable at a low level (TI <50 cases/100,000 inhabitants and TP ≈6%) amid similarly stable testing rates.

• In urban areas, the number of people seeking care for suspected Covid-19 is rising slightly, but their share of overall activity remains stable across all sectors of the region covered by SOS Médecins associations.

• In hospitals, the decline in new admissions to general care and critical care units continues. Visits to emergency departments for suspected COVID-19 and subsequent hospitalizations continue to decline, and their share of overall activity remains stable.

• Currently, less than one-third of people over 60, including one in five people over 80, have “up-to-date” COVID-19 vaccination protection or protection adapted to the Omicron variants.
