The bronchiolitis epidemic on the decline
While the flu is spreading in France, the public health agency, however, confirms a decline in the bronchiolitis epidemic, which mainly affects babies.
After a peak in early December, its main indicators declined “for the third week in a row”notes Public Health France, emphasizing however that they remain at a high level, all metropolitan regions remaining affected by the epidemic.
The last major winter epidemic to be monitored weekly, Covid-19 continues to record a significant wave but this is starting to ebb slightly.
“In this context of high circulation of different respiratory viruses and in addition to vaccination against influenza and Covid-19” among the most fragile, such as those over 65, “the systematic adoption of barrier gestures by all remains essential, in particular the wearing of a mask in the event of symptoms, in busy places and in the presence of vulnerable people”recalls Public Health France.
