A total of 602 residents have been affected and 39 deaths "possibly linked" to the epidemic since the outbreak started. However, the ARS indicates that this assessment is only partial, because not all the Ehpad have returned their figures. In addition, "a dozen additional deaths have been reported directly to ARS Occitanie previously and are being integrated into the database".
This assessment is to be added to that of deaths observed in hospitals in the region. On Saturday, it was 149 dead, 16 more than Friday.
On the other hand, the number of hospitalizations linked to the coronavirus was slightly down (1,001 against 1,013 the previous day), even if six more patients were in intensive care (326 against 320). Finally, 730 people were able to return to their homes, 56 more than on Saturday.
