Key Points

In Week 35 in Île-de-France, SARS-CoV-2 transmission remained stable. However, virological indicators remained at a high level:

• The regional incidence rate stood at 108 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, remaining stable for two consecutive weeks following seven weeks of continuous decline.

• The BA.4 and BA.5 sublineages of the Omicron variant are predominant in Île-de-France.

• Use of primary care and emergency services for “suspected COVID-19” is stabilizing in Île-de-France, halting the downward trend observed over the past 8 weeks.

• The number of new hospitalizations, as well as the number of new admissions to intensive care and the number of hospital deaths related to COVID-19, were decreasing.

• The number of new COVID-19 cases reported by healthcare facilities, as well as the total number of new reported cases, was decreasing.

Given that SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate, vaccination (and booster shots) for all eligible individuals remains essential and must be combined with strict adherence to other preventive measures.
