Coronavirus: all regions of mainland France above alert threshold

It's like starting a new volume in a never-ending saga. France is now facing a fourth wave of the coronavirus epidemic, arriving earlier than expected. Initially expected around autumn, it will finally arrive as early as this summer. Once again, the cards have been reshuffled: the antagonist in this chapter is the Delta variant, a more contagious mutant than the previous strains detected , which is causing a meteoric rise in the number of new cases. While the French were expecting a certain respite this summer, the spread of this mutation has finally changed all that.

Since Sunday July 25, 2021, all of mainland France has been above the alert threshold of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The Centre - Val de Loire region (50.4) is the last to have crossed this threshold over 7 sliding days. But not all regions are equal when it comes to the surge in cases: some are ahead of the game. Corsica (402.1), Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (328.3) andOccitanie (313.8) are the three regions most affected, followed by Nouvelle-Aquitaine (196.7) andÎle-de-France (161.6).
