The epidemic on the rise, especially among those over 45

For the past few weeks, as in the rest of France, the Covid-19 epidemic has resumed a slow ascent in Paca. In fifteen days, the incidence rate, the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, increased from 197 to 293, according to the latest report from the Regional Health Agency, published this Tuesday evening. “The increase is mainly driven by those over 45”, notes the organization

According to the data released, the incidence rate thus reaches 351 for 40-59 year olds, while it drops among 0-19 year olds (from 252 to 224 in one week).

At the same time, new hospital admissions, “for or with Covid-19, are on the rise”, notes the ARS. In conventional services, 231 patients were registered last week, compared to 192 the previous week. In critical care, there are 25 instead of 20.
