COVID-19 in France. Update as of July 31, 2024.

Key Points

  • In week 30, syndromic and virological indicators showed a slight decrease in community settings and hospitals.

  • Overall, syndromic and virological data have fluctuated at the same level for the past 6 weeks, most likely due to varying testing patterns. The proportion of hospitalizations following a visit to the emergency room remains moderate compared to previous waves of viral circulation. However, these trends should be interpreted with caution.

  • In terms of wastewater, the level of SARS-CoV-2 circulation has stabilized.

  • 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 infection and its complications and to limit the risk of transmission to others, especially vulnerable individuals: wearing a mask if you have symptoms and washing your hands regularly are therefore recommended.
