Key Points

Asthma

• Following a sharp increase in the number of emergency department visits and the number of visits followed by hospitalization for asthma in S11, the number of emergency department visits for asthma in S14 continued to decline among people over 15 years of age and among children aged 2–14.

• At SOS Médecins, asthma-related activity also saw a sharp decline for these two age groups.

COVID-19
