Data that makes optimistic, data that worries. The epidemic figures in the 64 this Friday night can be read with different looks. There are those who will rejoice to see the incidence rate drop again, to 114.6 to 105.5 on April 13, making Pyrénées-Atlantiques the 2nd largest French department in the metropolis where the coronavirus circulates the least. At the same date, positivity remained at 3.9%, the third lowest in France as well.
And then there are the figures in the hospitals, a little more worrying on this weekend eve. Thus, the balance of entries and exits shows an increase in patients currently admitted to the services. They were 97 this Friday evening, that’s eight more than the day before. Including 16 in critical care (-1).
The Covid also recalls that it still kills. Two more deaths in 24 hours were reported by Public Health France, bringing the toll since March 2020 to 462 deaths in hospital.
Vaccination is expanding
About vaccination, while yesterday we reported good figures in the PA, the expansion of immunization eligibility continues. As announced, school staff and teachers over 55 have been able to start registering to receive their first dose of AstraZeneca from this Saturday at the Pau hospital.
This will also be the case for the police and prison supervisors over 55, from Monday (the slots are already open on Doctolib). In Béarn, they can go either to the vaccination center of Lescar (villa des 7 Moulins), or that of Oloron (hospital) or that of Orthez (Maison Gascoin).
