An epidemic recovery observed, the number of hospitalizations is increasing

“It is not an explosion but there has been a gradual rise over the past two to three weeks in the number of hospitalizations and the number of people in critical care”, regrets Yann Bubien, Director General of the Bordeaux University Hospital. The epidemic recovery is here with an incidence rate in New Aquitaine of 100 per 100,000 and 105 in Gironde. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Health Agency (ARS) confirms an increase in hospitalizations in the department: this Tuesday 170 patients are hospitalized there for Covid-19, including 27 in intensive care. About a hundred classes were closed in Gironde, after the detection of cases.

The health authorities recall the importance of continuing to respect barrier gestures and recall the importance of resorting to a third dose of vaccination, when they are eligible.
