Key points

• Decrease in the incidence rate to 101 per 100,000 inhabitants, to be viewed in the context of a decrease in the testing rate (2,083 per 100,000) and an increase in the positivity rate (4.9%).

• Worsening health impact with an increase in the number of hospitalizations and ICU admissions (decrease in the number of EVASAN cases).

• Predominance of the South African variant, which is more transmissible.

• Investigations of clusters highlight a relaxation of preventive measures among the population: it is important to limit contacts as much as possible.
