Is the Covid-19 epidemic racing in Deux-Sèvres?
Since the beginning of October, the incidence rate has continued to increase.
This Wednesday, it reached 83 cases per 100,000 people, a figure well above the alert threshold set at 50.
In view of this increase, the prefecture of Deux-Sèvres published a press release on Tuesday.
It specifies in particular that “the incidence rate is increasing in all age groups.
It is 198.1 for those over 65 ”.
Three nursing homes in a cluster situation
Another worrying point: 75% of intensive care beds are currently occupied in the department.
Eight structures for the elderly and a medico-educational institute are currently affected by Covid-19 and 3 nursing homes are in a cluster situation with at least 17 positive cases among residents and employees, reported news Deux-Sèvres.
The lack of vigilance of some residents and the decline in vaccine effectiveness could be the reasons for this upsurge.
Since October 6, it is possible to receive a booster dose, strongly recommended by the government.
Two people died from the virus on October 22 and 24, i.e. 515 deaths from Covid-19 since the start of the epidemic in this department.
