While the circulation of the virus is intensifying extremely quickly in France, mainly due to the reason of the variant Delta, its progress is still slow in the Puy de Dome.
Nevertheless, the incidence rate is 79 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, and therefore now exceeds the alert threshold (set at 50). And the trend is on the rise.
The incidence rate among young people is even more alarming. CovidTracker data indicate a rate of 238 cases per 100,000 inhabitants among 20-29 year olds, and 154 cases per 100,000 inhabitants among 10-19 year olds.
The agglomeration of Clermont-Ferrand is most affected by this rebound in virus circulation. We take stock, municipality by municipality.
