The Cider ? The menhirs ? Or the buckwheat cakes? None of these Breton clichés will explain why Brittany is the region of France, the least affected by the coronavirus.
According to the Institut Pasteur, in France the virus would have affected in a symptomatic or asymptomatic form nearly 11% of the population, all ages combined when only 3.6% of the population in Brittany would have been infected by the Covid on November 30, 2020.
Record in Ile-de-France
In Brittany, the department where the virus has circulated the least is Finistère. The incidence rate, that is to say the number of confirmed cases per 100,000 inhabitants, is 15.6 in Finistère compared to an average of 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the rest of France.
Elsewhere in the great west, the virus has circulated more. In Pays de la Loire, the rate of infected people is 6.2% and 6.7% for Normandy.
But these are not the regions where the virus has circulated the most since it is Ile-de-France (21.3%), then Auvergne Rhône-Alpes (14.3%) and Hauts-de – France: 12.9%.
