In week 34, activity related to these conditions remained low for the SOS Médecins Meurthe-et-Moselle association, with 11 weekly diagnoses. This condition accounts for 1.5% of the association’s activity.

  • For several weeks now, the weekly number of recorded asthma diagnoses has remained low for both data sources. In week 34, this condition accounted for less than 0.5% of activity at emergency departments in Lorraine and less than 1% of that at the SOS Médecins Meurthe-et-Moselle association.

  • According to the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA), the allergy risk for grass and nettle pollen is very low across the four departments of Lorraine.

  • In week 34, the number of heat-related illness diagnoses recorded by the emergency services in Lorraine and the SOS Médecins Meurthe-et-Moselle association remains low; 33 weekly diagnoses were made by the emergency services in Lorraine and 1 by the SOS Médecins Meurthe-et-Moselle association. This activity represents less than 0.5% of the activity of these two organizations.

  • According to available data, no unusual increase in mortality has been observed in Lorraine over the past 4 weeks. Since the time lag for reporting death data exceeds 7 days, data for week 34 is currently being consolidated.
