Nationally and across regions, activity at SOS Médecins clinics for all age groups has stabilized over the past week. Activity among children under 15 has declined (-23%, -6,323 consultations), likely due to school vacations. This decline is observed across all regions, particularly in the Centre/Ile-de-France region. The numbers are very close to those of 2012 and higher than those of 2011.

It is noted that, for this age group, these conditions have decreased significantly over the period. Among adults over 15 years of age, acute respiratory failure, gastroenteritis, and bronchitis are the main conditions observed, and activity related to these remains stable.
