COVID. While nearly 330,000 new cases of Covid-19 were recorded in 24 hours, this Friday, the incidence rate continues to slow down slightly in France. Some experts hope, with the arrival of Omicron, the “end of the pandemic”.

  • The latest assessment of Covid-19 in France this Friday, January 14 shows the first encouraging signs and suggests a decline in the epidemic. Thus, the incidence rate has gone down. It is now 2,828 cases per 100,000 inhabitants after falling 11 points in 24 hours. The detailed report can be found on this page, updated daily, devoted to Covid figures in France.
  • This Saturday, January 15, after debates that lasted a good part of the night, the law of the vaccine pass, at the center of the government’s health policy, was adopted at second reading in the National Assembly, with 185 votes for, 69 against and eight abstentions. He is now back in the Senate this Saturday. According to the president of the law commission of the National Assembly, Yael Braun-Pivet, “the vaccine pass could be applicable at the end of next week”.
  • Invited to FranceInfo this Saturday, January 15, Elisabeth Bouvet, from the High Authority for Health, indicated that he is “not at all sure that we will need a fourth dose”. And to clarify: “We currently have no data that allows us to justify this measure.”
  • According to several specialists interviewed by West France this Friday, January 14, 2022, “the end of the coronavirus pandemic is a very likely scenario, but it is not a certainty”. For these scientists, the appearance of the Omicron variant in France could lead to worldwide immunity, mutating Covid-19 into a less serious seasonal epidemic.
  • This Friday, the High Authority for Health (HAS) published a opinion in which it authorizes the anti-Covid vaccine from the American Novavax, Nuvaxovid. In this same opinion, the health agency indicates that the Covid-19 Janssen vaccine, from Janssen, already authorized for people aged 55 and over, also represents an effective alternative to messenger RNA vaccines. Good news for the executive who, as a reminder, is placing a large part of its strategy to fight the epidemic on vaccination and the vaccination booster: these alternative serums, which use technologies different from those mobilized in the vaccines already authorized in France, could perhaps convince the 9.8% of French people who still refuse the injection.

Since mid-October 2020, Public Health France has been communicating incidence data (number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants) at municipal level. The figures are at this stage communicated according to a scale (10, 20, 50, 150, 250, 500, 1000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants). The data is expressed over a rolling week, which means that it is calculated on a D-day from tests carried out between 3 and 9 days previously. To access information relating to the coronavirus in your municipality, enter its name in the search engine or click on its department in the map below.

As a reminder, the incidence rate corresponds to the number of new cases of Covid-19 over a period of one week, compared to the total population of a territory (country, region, department or municipality). This indicator is generally expressed as the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The screening rate gives the number of people having carried out a screening test for the coronavirus out of the total number of inhabitants, during the period. It is also most often expressed per 100,000 inhabitants. Finally, the test positivity rate gives the percentage of positive tests for the coronavirus, compared to the total number of tests carried out over the period.
