Unheard of since the start of the coronavirus epidemic in March in the Alpes-Maritimes.

In seven days, at least 47 people with Covid-19 died according to data published by the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur Regional Health Agency (ARS) on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the ARS recorded 17 deaths, including 15 in nursing homes.

A peak in daily mortality that had never been reached.

At the height of the first wave, the ARS had recorded a maximum of 11 deaths in a single day.

The average number of deaths per day, smoothed over seven days, rose to nearly seven this Thursday, the highest level reached during the epidemic peak in spring.

Resuscitation services close to saturation

The number of hospitalized Covid patients, especially in intensive care, is still on the rise, which does not bode well for the next few days.

A total of 358 coronavirus patients are in hospital this Thursday.

It is more than during the wave of last spring.

Among them, 65 are in intensive care (16 admissions Wednesday), which brings the occupancy rate of intensive care beds in the Alpes-Maritimes to nearly 95%.

The only encouraging data concerns the number of reproduction of the virus, the famous “R”: according to Public Health France it fell to 1.13 on November 3 (ten people carrying the coronavirus infect 13), after having reached a peak at 1 , 48 a week earlier.

This means that the epidemic is progressing less rapidly… but continues to progress in the Alpes-Maritimes.
