• The incidence rate of Covid-19 is increasing sharply in Pays-de-la-Loire.

  • On the other hand, resuscitation is not yet saturated in hospitals in the region.

  • A new case of the Omicron variant has been detected in Mayenne.

The epidemic situation is not getting better in Pays-de-la-Loire. This Thursday, December 9, the Regional Health Agency indicates that 538 people are hospitalized in the region, including 99 in intensive care. "There are only 21 resuscitation beds available, which makes a rate of less than 10%", specifies Jean-Jacques Coiplet, director of the ARS. The occupancy rate of Covid cases in intensive care in today is almost 60%, which represents the alert threshold.

The incidence rate in Pays-de-la-Loire now reaches 382.3 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

The highest rate is in Loire-Atlantique (440 against 427 two days ago).

However, the occupancy rate of intensive care beds is still holding, and is not accelerating as quickly as the incidence rate curve.

"There is a form of decorrelation between the incidence rate and its impact on the health care supply, even if this impact is not negligible", explains Jean-Jacques Coiplet, who sees this difference explained by vaccination, especially compared to the 2nd and 3rd waves.

“The challenge for everyone is to succeed in flattening this resuscitation curve.

"

54 clusters in the region

For this, three new vaccination centers (in addition to the existing 46) will soon open in the region, including two in Loire-Atlantique.

And new niches will open in the coming days.

Currently, 62% of those over 65 have received their booster dose in the region, compared to 42.9% of those over 18.

Finally, after a case of the Omicron variant detected in Vendée a week ago, a new case was spotted in Mayenne, in the agglomeration of Laval.

this is a person who returned from South Africa at the end of November.

"The situation is under control and the family has been placed in isolation," concludes the ARS, which currently manages 54 clusters in the region (excluding National Education).

"A high activity which is a reflection of the epidemic situation".
