The statement from the Prefecture is clear:
The health situation related to the spread of COVID-19 is once again deteriorating in France and in the Alpes-Maritimes, in a context also marked by the flu risk and other winter illnesses.
Today, with incidence rates exceeding 540 per 100,000 people and a positivity rate of 6.8, the department is experiencing a virus circulation nearing the records reached during previous peak waves.
Further details:
The pressure on the healthcare system is increasing daily. Everything must be done to encourage vaccination, whether it be initial shots or booster doses. Furthermore, to delay and curb the peak of this new wave expected in the coming weeks, it is imperative to implement all available containment measures and to avoid recklessly multiplying the risks of contamination.
