COVID19 in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: The health situation is improving: accelerate the decline of the virus!

With an incidence rate in the general population of around 200 cases per 100 000 inhabitants, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté now ranks below the national average (233 cases per 100 000 inhabitants) and the circulation of COVID-19 has continued to decrease over the past 7 days.

Although declining, the test positivity rate, still above 15%, is nevertheless 3 times higher than the attention threshold and shows that the virus remains a reality in all parts of the territory.

The decline in the circulation of the virus is accompanied by a linear decrease in the daily number of new admissions and the number of beds occupied in hospitals in the region.
However, the ARS Bourgogne-Franche-Comté calls for the vigilance reflexes of the entire population to be maintained, especially during this period of leave when leisure activities, reunions with family and friends often involve gatherings.

The mask is always recommended in situations of great promiscuity:

  • in closed and poorly ventilated places, in particular in the presence of fragile people,
  • for symptomatic people and positive cases, up to 7 days after leaving isolation.

On the vaccination side, the Regional Health Agency encourages people over 60 to do their second booster with their local health professional.

The balance sheet of the epidemic in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté was established on May 27, 2022 at 6,447 deaths in health establishments; 2,496 in medico-social establishments.
