The flu epidemic is ending in most regions of the French metropolis, apart from Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur which remains the only one fully affected, the national public health agency noted on Wednesday.
Last week, completed on March 10, “Overall flu indicators continued to decline, with 12 of 13 regions in post-epidemic phase” in the metropolis, summarized Public Health France in a weekly report.
In Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur the epidemic is fully active
In France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur is the last region where the epidemic is considered fully active. Overseas, this is still the case for Guadeloupe and Martinique.
The situation is, moreover, calm regarding the two other major epidemics. Covid, which records several outbreaks per year, is at the bottom of the wave, while among babies, the bronchiolitis epidemic has clearly ended, except overseas in Mayotte.
When it came time to take stock, the health authorities noted at the end of February that these three epidemics had put the health system under less strain this year than during the 2022-2023 season, which was particularly harsh.
However, “the systematic adoption of barrier gestures by everyone remains important in busy places and in the presence of vulnerable people, in particular the wearing of a mask in the event of symptoms, hand washing and regular ventilation of enclosed spaces“, recalled Public Health France on Wednesday.
