Key Points

The epidemiological situation regarding COVID-19 deteriorated significantly last week. The positivity rate and incidence rate exceeded the vigilance threshold and alert threshold, respectively, while testing rates increased. Young adults aged 20 to 29 are particularly affected. In hospitals, the number of admissions has risen, with 29 patients currently hospitalized, including 8 in adult intensive care units. In outpatient care, indicators also showed an increase.

Individual prevention measures and collective containment efforts must be strengthened, and vaccination accelerated to break this trend.
