COVID-19 in France. Update as of September 18, 2024.

Key Points

  • In week 37, syndromic indicators were on the rise in the community among those under 65, though at levels that remained lower than those observed during the same period in the two previous years. These indicators remained stable in hospitals.

  • SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates remained generally stable in the community and in hospitals for several weeks.

  • In wastewater, the increase in SARS-CoV-2 detection continued for the third consecutive week.

  • All indicators reflected active circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in the general population since June 2024, though with a limited impact in hospitals.

  • 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, particularly vulnerable individuals: wearing a mask if symptoms are present and regular handwashing are therefore recommended.
