Brittany still spared by the epidemic
Nationally, Brittany remains one of the regions most spared by the coronavirus Covid-19 epidemic with an incidence rate of 83.8 cases in the region, against 270 cases in Paca or 256 in Burgundy -Franche-Comté. The Brittany Regional Health Agency warns, however, against this increase in the incidence rate which “accelerates significantly with hospital activity which is also increasing”.
Monday evening, 559 people were still hospitalised in establishments in the region (+32 compared to Friday) including 37 in intensive care. Eight patients also died over the weekend in Brittany, bringing the number of people who have died since the start of the epidemic to 768.
