Key Points

In Week 30 (July 25–31, 2022), total activity at SOS Médecins clinics declined across all age groups.

After six weeks of increases, medical procedures for suspected COVID-19 have declined for the third consecutive week: a total of 4,342 procedures (vs. 5,599 in Week 29) were recorded across all age groups (a decrease of 22% vs. 27% in Week 29).
