Thus, in Corse-du-Sud, Pyrénées-Orientales, Gers, Indre, Alpes-Maritimes, Ardèche, Haute-Garonne, Tarn, Landes, Territoire de Belfort, Cher, Finistère, Corrèze, or even in Saône-et-Loire, the incidence rate has started to rise again in recent days.
Pyrénées-Atlantiques: it’s going down again
In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, where the epidemic took off in early June, it is declining again. Which is logical: rising high, the epidemic had every chance of coming down. But the incidence rate remains high, at nearly 100.
In many departments, finally, the epidemic is no longer receding, as can be seen on the map above.
In around ten departments, the incidence rate remains above 100: this is the case for Côte-d’Or, Loire, Val-d’Oise, Loiret, Seine-Saint-Denis , Mayenne, Haute-Loire, Val-de-Marne or even the North.

In the majority of the other departments, the incidence rate remains contained between 50 and 100. At the level of the regions, none of them have an incidence higher than 100.
“Good student” departments
There are even about fifteen metropolitan departments where the incidence has fallen below 50: Haute-Corse, Creuse, Corse-du-Sud, Alpes-Maritimes, Charente, Ariège, Lozère, Cantal, Charente-Maritime, Var, Aube, Nièvre, Aveyron, Drôme, Lot and Meuse.
But among these departments, some are showing increasing indicators, and are therefore closely monitored by the authorities.
The Indian variant (“delta”) poses a significant threat to the epidemic evolution: more contagious, it is also suspected of immune escape – in short, of being able to re-infect people who are already infected. The vaccines remain effective against him, but less than against the previous variants in circulation.
Holidays, catalysts for the delta variant?
To date, the “delta” variant is still in the minority in France. But not in the United Kingdom, where deconfinement is suspended from its massive distribution.
However, with the arrival of summer holidays, the risk exists that this avatar of the virus will spread widely throughout France, “taking advantage” of summer travel.
