In one week, the incidence rate jumped in the Lyon area (Rhône), it went from 253 to 298 cases per 100,000 inhabitants according to the latest data published by Santé Publique France. A particularly high rate which worries the health authorities.

By way of comparison, the Eure, which at the same time displayed an incidence rate of 289.3, was reconfigured for four weeks, like 15 other departments. The Rhône and the Greater Lyon are therefore not immune to a strengthening of measures in the coming weeks.

The detail municipality by municipality in Greater Lyon

In the metropolis, a town explodes the counters with a particularly high incidence rate, with more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It is the small village of Fleurieu-sur-Saône.

With a rate between 500 and 1,000, follow Saint-Romain-au-Mont d’Or, Curis-au-Mont-d’Or, Rillieux-la-Pape and Mions.

Most of the other municipalities in the metropolitan area and the districts of Lyon have incidence rates of between 250 and 500, i.e. above the alert threshold.

To consult the incidence rate in your Rhône commune, go here:

Only 17 municipalities in the metropolitan area go above this threshold with an incidence rate of between 150 and 250: Oullins, Saint-Genis-Laval, Irigny, Vernaison, Charly, Ecully, Dardilly, Charbonnières-les-Bains, La Tour-de-Salvigny, Limonest, Saint-Germain at Mont d’Or, Fontaines-sur-Saône, Sathonay-Camp, Montanay, Quincieux but also the 3^e and 7^e boroughs from Lyon.

The municipalities of Greater Lyon with the incidence rates (between 50 and 150), the lowest are Sathonay-Village and Albigny-sur-Saone.

The Rhône department remains under close surveillance, in particular in view of the hospital pressure. The occupancy rate of the resuscitation beds reached is 95% in the department.

The Rhone residents are not immune to a strengthening of measures.
