Flu season is not over yet. The epidemic, which had subsided at the beginning of the year before picking up, has continued in recent days, however, with a relative stabilization, Public Health France summarized this Wednesday. Last week there was a “stability of most flu indicators for all ages in the city and in the hospital,” according to a weekly report from the facility.
The epidemic, which arrived in France quite early this season, had subsided at the beginning of the year, but has resumed in recent weeks. However, this rise is now slowing markedly, with the number of cases well below the peak of the first wave, suggesting that this recovery will not reach late-2022 levels.
11 out of 13 regions are still affected
Last week, therefore, the epidemic did not register any significant development: in mainland France, 11 of the 13 regions are still affected, only Hauts-de-France and Normandy are in the exit phase of the epidemic. Overseas, the West Indies and Guyana are still affected.
This winter, the flu contributed to an unusual “triple epidemic” situation, with several waves of Covid and a particularly intense outbreak of bronchiolitis in infants.
The bronchiolitis epidemic, in decline since the end of December, continues to end all over France. It ended up in five new regions: Centre-Val de Loire, Corsica, Normandy, New Aquitaine and Provence-Alpes Côte d’Azur. However, it continues in Mayotte and Réunion.
