« Le virus Sars-CoV-2 n'est plus seul responsable de l'augmentation des SRAG [Systèmes Respiratoires Agou] dans notre pays », a déclaré une porte-parole de la fondation.

D'autres virus respiratoires participent au pic épidémique : le metapneumovirus et le rinovirus contribuent également à amplifier les cas graves.

L'incidence est particulièrement élevée chez les jeunes enfants. Le rinovirus apparaît comme un facteur majeur dans les SRAG touchant les moins de trois ans.

Experts call on local health authorities to maintain weekly monitoring and not to relax prevention.

The next edition of the InfoGripe bulletin is expected for the week of November 8 with figures for the following week.
