Summary

Based on mortality data provided by INSEE, the observed number of deaths from all causes during week 36 (September 4–10, 2017) remains within the usual range of fluctuation for this period, both for all ages and by age group (Figures 1–3).Given the usual delays in data transmission, the mortality figures observed over these two weeks are still incomplete. Caution should therefore be exercised when interpreting these observations. According to data from electronic certification, 1,339 deaths were recorded during week 37 of 2017 (September 11–17, 2017).
