Key Points

Whooping Cough

• Consultations for whooping cough at SOS Médecins and in emergency rooms have risen sharply in recent weeks, reaching levels higher than in previous years. In light of this resurgence of whooping cough in France and Europe, Santé publique France confirms the start of a new epidemic cycle this year and is calling for increased vigilance.

COVID-19

• COVID-19 surveillance indicators are rising in urban areas and hospitals but remain at low levels. They point to a gradual resurgence of viral circulation, the progression and impact of which on the healthcare system will need to be monitored in the coming weeks.
