Ile-de-France: stagnation in the number of students and teachers positive for coronavirus
Attention, change of thermometer since December 8. Below are the explanations from Public Health France
“Since December 8, after having checked the quality of the data reported, all the results of RT-PCR or Antigenic tests enter into the production of national and territorial epidemiological indicators (incidence rate, positivity rate and screening rate) useful for monitoring the COVID-19 epidemic. In addition, the epidemic is prolonged over time and screening capacities have increased, leading to an increasing frequency of people tested several times. Thus, an adjustment of the deduplication methods for the patients benefiting from repeated tests and therefore of the definition of the persons tested was necessary. Public Health France, in its epidemiological approach centered on patients, has therefore adapted its methods so that these indicators in particular best reflect the proportion of infected people among the population tested. These developments have no impact on the trends and interpretation of the dynamics of the epidemic, which remain the same. More precise data relating to the tests (incidence and positivity) are also published by Public Health France (SI-DEP data). ”

This change modifies the data previously established in the past weeks
It is important to note that “Before making this change effective, Public Health France recalculated from these new methods all the indicators (incidence rate, positivity, screening) produced since May 13, at each relevant territorial level (region, department, commune, IRIS). ”, indicates Public Health France.
