Overview

• In Week 42 (October 12–18, 2026), compared with the previous week, emergency department activity in the OSCOUR® network increased among children under 2 years of age and remained stable in other age groups.
• Due to a technical issue, data from the SOS Médecins associations could not be transmitted, and the weekly epidemiological bulletin on activity for Week 42 of 2026 could therefore not be produced.
• Emergency department visits related to respiratory indicators were on the rise among children and among those aged 75 and older (pneumonia, influenza/flu-like illness, suspected COVID-19 infection, cough, infection, asthma attacks, and bronchiolitis in children under 1 year of age). The levels observed were similar to or even lower than in previous years.
• Emergency department visits related to digestive conditions were also on the rise (acute gastroenteritis, vomiting, abdominal conditions). The observed levels were similar to those of previous years.
• The number of deaths from all causes reported by INSEE remained within the usual range of fluctuation in S41-2026 across all age groups, both nationally and regionally.
