Key Points

• In week 38, all indicators across all age groups were on the rise in the city and in hospitals; this increase was driven by adults, particularly those aged 65 and older.

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

• An intensification of SARS-CoV-2 circulation appears to be beginning, and its progression will need to be monitored closely over the coming weeks.

• 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.

• The vaccination campaign, targeting in particular people aged 65 and older as well as those at risk of severe illness, will begin on October 15, 2024.
