Previously on sentiweb
In mainland France, last week (2023w21), the incidence rate of ARI cases consulting in general practice was estimated at 97 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (95% CI [75; 119]). This rate is stable compared to week 2023w20 (consolidated data: 68 [57; 79]).
At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (253 [128; 378]), Grand Est (171 [103; 239]), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (145 [57; 233]) and Corse (145 [44; 246]).
COVID-19: the incidence rate of Covid-19 cases with respiratory signs seen in general practice was estimated at 20 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [16; 24]), representing 13,343 [10,416; 16,270] new cases of Covid-19 with respiratory signs seen in general practice. This rate is slightly increasing compared to the previous week.

COVID-19 and Influenza Surveillance : role of the Sentinelles network
In March 2020, following the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), the “Sentinelles surveillance” evolved. The surveillance of “influenza-like illness” (ILI, defined as sudden onset of fever above 39°C, accompanied by myalgia and respiratory signs) has been replaced by “acute respiratory infections” (ARI, defined as sudden onset of fever or feeling of fever and respiratory signs). This new surveillance enables both the monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic and epidemics due to other respiratory viruses (influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus and metapneumovirus), based on patients consulting a general practitioner for an ARI. This surveillance is carried out with “Santé publique France” (the national agency for public health), the National Reference Center for respiratory infections (“Institut Pasteur” and “Hospices Civils de Lyon”) and the University of Corsica.
Data from the Sentinelles network are integrated into the overall national COVID-19 surveillance coordinated by “Santé publique France”. For more information, you can consult the weekly COVID-19 and influenza newsletters from “Santé publique France”.
At the same time, the Sentinelles network is leading studies and research works on the COVID-19 presented in the “COVID-19” section of this website.
