Key points

Syndromic surveillance

• After falling last week, SOS Médecins consultations for pertussis (whooping cough) were once again on the rise among people aged 15–64 years.

Wastewater surveillance

• The upward trend in SARS-CoV-2 circulation continued in week 35, although regional variations persist (with levels stabilizing in Île-de-France and rising in Centre-Val de Loire).
