Extract from the epidemiological bulletin of Public Health France dated October 8, 2020

“The region’s clusters mainly affect schools and universities (27%), private and public companies (24.9%) and health establishments (17.9%). “Note that the share of the latter increases compared to last week (17.9% on October 8 versus 14.3% on October 1). The share of high-criticality clusters continues to increase to reach 21.4% of all clusters (versus 19% in W39). The level of criticality of clusters in schools, universities or in the workplace is explained primarily by the number of cases associated with them. On the other hand, the criticality of clusters in health, medico-social (ESMS) or prison establishments is mainly attributable to the vulnerability of their population ”, details Public Health France in its weekly epidemiological bulletin.
