Key Points

• Virological indicators (TI, TP, and TD) continue to decline in Hauts-de-France (TI <200 cases/100,000 inhabitants), but viral circulation remains high among those over 65.

• In urban areas, the number of people seeking care for suspected COVID-19 remains stable compared to pre-holiday levels in the regions covered by SOS Médecins.

• In hospitals, the number of new admissions to general wards and intensive care units is declining. In emergency departments, the number of visits for suspected COVID-19 is decreasing, but the proportion of activity associated with these visits remains stable, while the number and proportion of hospitalizations following visits for suspected COVID-19 are declining.

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