The peak of the outbreak has not yet been reached in the region (next week or the week after). The use of SOS Médecins or emergency departments continues to rise in France.

Bronchitis: increased use of SOS Médecins in the region and across France for this reason. A slight upward trend is noted based on emergency department data.
