Key Points

In Week 06 in Île-de-France, viral circulation remained at high levels compared to previous waves of the epidemic. The public health situation continued to improve but remained uncertain.

• The crude incidence rate stood at 818 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and declined for the fifth consecutive week, though it remained high amid a decrease in testing rates.

• The positivity rate decreased for the third consecutive week, yet remained high at 18.0%.

• The Omicron variant (21K, B.1.1.529), which has been the dominant strain in Île-de-France since Week 51, continued to spread rapidly in the region.

• SI-VIC data again showed a decline in new hospitalizations, new ICU admissions, and COVID-19-related hospital deaths.

• Vaccination coverage with at least one dose stood at 76.1%, at 75.0% for the full course, and at 51.3% for the booster dose.

Given the high level of viral circulation, vaccinating all eligible individuals remains essential and must be combined with strict adherence to other preventive measures.
