The summary map on the epidemic situation of the coronavirus on May 5, 2020. - MINISTRY OF HEALTH

It is now a well-established ritual. Each evening, the Ministry of Health presents the new version of the map of France of the epidemic activity of the coronavirus. A three-color graph that synthesizes, department by department, the circulation of the virus and hospital tensions. Something to wait for the card of Thursday, May 7 which will be two-color (red / green) and will serve as the basis for the deconfinement device.

This Tuesday, the situation is improving in the Hauts-de-France region. The five departments (Aisne, Nord, Oise, Pas-de-Calais and Somme) change from red to orange on hospital tensions, and, by extension, on the summary map. As a result, there are only 27 departments in red, corresponding to three regions (Ile-de-France, Bourgogne-France-Comté and Grand Est), in addition to Mayotte.

Soon a third criterion

In addition to viral circulation and the situation in hospitals, a third criterion should be added to the analysis in the coming days: the ability to do tests, a crucial element in planning deconfinement.

The summary card is constructed according to the following principle: if a department is red in one of the categories, it is red in the summary. The orange areas of the summary map "are intended to switch between May 11 and green or red".
