In Week 14 in Île-de-France, epidemiological indicators showed a slowdown in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the region; however, transmission remains high, and continued vigilance is advised.

• The crude incidence rate stood at 1,276 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and was decreasing after four consecutive weeks of increases.

• The same downward trend was observed for the testing rate (4,929 tests per 100,000 inhabitants).

• The positivity rate continued to rise (25.9%).

• The BA.2 sublineage of the Omicron variant has been predominant in Île-de-France since late February 2022.
