Some regions, such as Île-de-France, however, remain affected by the epidemic and it continues to threaten two overseas territories: Mayotte and Réunion, which are in the so-called pre-epidemic phase.
However, the indicators are down in these territories, particularly in Reunion.
As the flu is still circulating alongside Covid-19, Public Health France reaffirms the importance of barrier gestures and vaccination, especially for those most at risk, the elderly in mind.
