After being changed from red to orange between January 9 and 15, Brittany returned to the green last week on the bronchiolitis front. Public Health France announces this Wednesday in its weekly update the “end of the epidemic in Brittany and Guyana”.
Other regions are moving into the post-epidemic phase (like Brittany last week): Pays-de-la-Loire, Corsica, Guadeloupe and Martinique. On the other hand, the epidemic continues in other regions: Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Mayotte.
Overall, at the national level, the indicators have stabilized. Thus, 1,564 children under the age of 2 were seen in the emergency room for bronchiolitis between January 16 and 22, compared to 1,537 the previous week. Of these, 92% were under one year old. 625 required hospitalization, a slight decrease of 4%.
