Nationally, the number of Covid-19 cases has been rising slightly since the start of the school year, according to the latest figures published by Public Health France, as reported by franceinfo on Wednesday. Since the beginning of September, the number of consultations at SOS Médecins (a national network of on-call doctors) and the number of hospitalizations related to the virus have also been increasing across all age groups.
Specifically, during the week of September 14-20, SOS Médecins recorded a 76% increase in consultations for suspected Covid-19 nationwide compared to the previous week. SOS Médecins recorded precisely 390 additional consultations, across all age groups.
Regarding emergency room visits related to suspected Covid-19, the Oscour network reports a 16% increase during the week of September 14-20 compared to the previous week for children. For adults, this increase is 67%.
Despite everything, this resurgence of the Covid-19 virus remains lower than that of the previous four years at the same time, according to figures from Public Health France. The current variants do not cause particularly severe symptoms and remain susceptible to the Covid-19 vaccine. Furthermore, the vaccination campaign against this virus will begin in mid-October, at the same time as the flu campaign, and will be primarily aimed at those over 65.
