Key Points

• For more than 7 weeks, epidemiological indicators of SARS-CoV-2 circulation have been declining or remaining at low levels in mainland France:

  • a decrease in COVID-19-related visits to hospital emergency rooms, and the number of SOS Médecins calls remaining at a low level

  • a decrease in the number of new hospitalizations, new ICU admissions of COVID-19 patients, the number of hospitalized patients, and the number of patients in the ICU

• First release of indicators based on data reported by a very large number of laboratories via SI-DEP, now enabling a nearly exhaustive count of confirmed COVID-19 cases in France

• Increase in the number of clusters: 109 clusters reported as of May 27, 2020, with no confirmed community transmission

• No signs of a resurgence of the epidemic

• In Mayotte, SARS-CoV-2 circulation remains at a high level

• In French Guiana, increased hospital activity and SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates in the context of active clusters with a risk of community transmission

• Less consistent adherence to protective measures over time; since the start of lockdown, only mask-wearing in public has increased
