Key Points

• Increase in all indicators of epidemic pressure, with an incidence rate of 105 per 100,000 inhabitants

• Increased health impact with a rise in the number of hospitalizations (particularly among those under 65) and the number of ICU admissions (mostly due to the EVASAN variant, accounting for 68% of new admissions)

• Predominance of the South African variant, which is more transmissible

• Investigations of clusters highlight a relaxation of preventive measures among the population: it is important to limit contacts as much as possible.
