Epidemiological Situation

Since early December, there has been an increase in emergency room visits for bronchiolitis among children under 2 years of age. This trend is typical for this time of year and marks the start of the seasonal epidemic. Virological data show that RSV has been circulating on the island since October.However, the number of emergency room visits last week is significantly higher than in previous years, indicating a particularly severe outbreak this year. The evolution of the epidemiological situation will continue to be closely monitored in the coming weeks. Ultimately, the trends in these indicators underscore the importance of reminding the public of appropriate preventive measures as the southern summer begins.
