  • The acceleration of cases observed in recent days has calmed down in the region, while the effects of the end of the year holidays can now be observed.

  • On Friday, the incidence rate was 109.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 187 in the rest of France.

High indicators but "no explosion" of cases.

More than two weeks after the end of the year celebrations, the peak of contamination feared by the authorities has finally not taken place in the Pays-de-la-Loire.

“The Ligériens were cautious in respecting the gestures barrier, welcomes Jean-Jacques Coiplet, director of the ARS.

The numbers remain high but we are not having an exponential effect, even if the R in Pays-de-la-Loire [the average number of people that a contagious person can infect] rose again above 1 on Thursday.

"

According to figures released this Friday evening, the incidence rate was 109.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, against 187 in the rest of France.

The acceleration observed in recent days therefore seems to have calmed down and turned into a “plateau”.

In Loire-Atlantique, the indicators even tend to drop: the incidence rate, at 99.1 Thursday, dropped to 96.7 this Friday.

About thirty vaccination centers in the region, including two in Nantes
