Key Points

• Given that Monday, December 25, was a holiday, data completeness is lower than usual. Trends should be interpreted with caution and will need to be confirmed once the data is consolidated.

• At the regional level, death counts rose moderately in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region between weeks 47 and 49, and in the Occitanie region in week 49.

• In week 51, the number of deaths certified electronically remained stable compared to the previous week.
