Day after day, the figures seem to verify it: in the Pays-de-la-Loire, the virus is still circulating very actively but "the epidemic is tending to stabilize". According to the regional health agency, 1,726 cases had been recorded this Thursday evening in the region, less than 100 more than Wednesday. 741 patients were hospitalized, and 176 were in intensive care. This trend is also reflected in the number of deaths in hospital, which stands at 158, five more in a day.

"For almost a week, we have been on the same plateau, with an increase which is around 10%, without having an exponential curve," says Dr. Pierre Blaise. The number of people entering balances with the number of people leaving, which allows hospital departments to control the epidemic. ” Among the leavers is a patient who had been transferred to Angers from the Grand Est region. His state of health made it possible to repatriate him to Strasbourg. Two other patients are expected to follow soon.
