Semaine 202620 - Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 11 mai 2026

ARI are caused by a variety of respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), influenza viruses, and other respiratory viruses such as RSV, rhinovirus, and metapneumovirus. The purpose of ARI surveillance is to monitor outbreaks of these viruses.
 
In mainland France, last week (2026w20), the incidence rate of acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases consulting in general practice was estimated at 49 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [44; 54]).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous week and corresponds to a lower activity level than those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w19: 50 [45; 54]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Bretagne (149 [113; 185]), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (63 [22; 104]), Grand Est (63 [44; 81]) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (57 [36; 78]).

Covid-19: the incidence rate of Covid-19 cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 0 cases per 100,000 population (data source: Sentinelles).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous weeks (consolidated data for 2026w19: 0 [0; 0]) and corresponds to a low level of activity.

Lundi 11 mai 2026

Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is decreasing compared to the previous week and corresponds to a lower activity level than to those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w19: 49 [45; 54]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Corse (70 [12; 127]), Grand Est (52 [28; 77]) and Occitanie (49 [32; 66]).

Lundi 11 mai 2026

In mainland France, last week (2026w20), the incidence rate of chickenpox cases seen in general practice was estimated at 10 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [7; 12]). 
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is slightly increasing compared to the previous week and corresponds to a similar activity level to those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w19: 8 [6; 10]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Corse (28 [0; 66]), Pays de la Loire (27 [7; 48]) and Hauts-de-France (12 [4; 20]).
