Key Points

COVID-19

Decrease in the incidence rate and positivity rate calculated from PCR and antigen tests. In week 06, the incidence rate fell from 109.5 per 100,000 inhabitants in S05 to 88.0 per 100,000 inhabitants in S06. The positivity rate is also declining, falling from 4.4% in Week 04 to 3.8% in Week 05. This decline is seen across all departments, but rates remain high in Ille-et-Vilaine and, to a lesser extent, in Morbihan.
