In week 23 (June 4–10), overall activity at SOS Médecins clinics remained stable among adults and rose very slightly among children (+5%, or +835 visits).

Visits related to seasonal conditions were mostly stable or declining in Week 23, for both adults and children. However, there was an increase in visits among children under 2 years of age for allergies (+24%, or +25 consultations), among 2- to 14-year-olds for infectious conjunctivitis, burns, and hyperthermia/heatstroke, and among adults for insect bites, though in all cases the numbers were low.
