COVID-19 in France. Update as of August 14, 2024.

Key Points

  • In week 32, following a downward trend observed over the past few weeks, syndromic indicators remained stable in the community and in hospitals. The proportion of hospitalizations following visits to the emergency room remains moderate compared to previous waves of viral circulation.

  • Virological indicators have remained generally stable for several weeks, with a slight increase in week 32.

  • The decline in SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater continued.

  • Given the ongoing circulation of SARS-CoV-2, particularly during large gatherings this summer and in long-term care facilities, adhering to preventive measures remains an effective way to protect against respiratory infections and their complications and to limit the risk of transmission to others, especially vulnerable individuals: wearing a mask if symptoms are present and regular handwashing are therefore recommended
