More than a thousand people are currently hospitalized in Occitania, affected by the coronavirus pandemic. These are serious cases. 320 of them are placed in intensive care. Many other Covid-19 patients, whose state of health does not justify hospitalization, are also treated in telemedicine. The Montpellier CHU notably follows 420 patients, who present less severe clinical signs, by telephone and thanks to its dedicated application.

A total of 3,112 people tested positive in Occitania. The Regional Health Agency nevertheless recalls that "the strategy of targeted tests makes the indicator of the number of confirmed cases less relevant".
