(As a reminder, these figures do not include all of the Covid-19 untested people identified by city medicine.)
- 263 people are currently hospitalized (1) (a total of 340 people have been hospitalized since the start of the epidemic, 115 of whom have returned home)
- 69 people are currently in intensive care or intensive care (1) (116 people in total have been in intensive care since the start of the epidemic)
· Since the start of the epidemic, there have been 25 deaths among those hospitalized.
The ARS of Nouvelle-Aquitaine has changed its communication over the days as the epidemic progresses. At the beginning, when each case was detected, a detailed communication was sent. Then with the number of cases increasing, a non-automatic and prioritized screening strategy in France, only one count by daily department was available. In recent days, since the information required a specific geolocation check, the ARS decided to reserve the point by department for a weekly meeting. Data by area of the number of cases and deaths must be reported on Friday.
In addition, the ARS reminds in each press release that these figures do not include untested people, who are identified by city medicine. “So the actual number of people affected is higher.” “However, monitoring these figures makes it possible to observe the evolution of the epidemic and mainly its impact on the health system (hospitalizations, people in intensive care, etc.) in order to provide an appropriate health response.”
