The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) caused a certain number of deaths within the French population. With 29,101 victims, the Paris Region, Île-de-France, recorded the highest number of deaths in France as of June 30, 2023. On the other hand, the regions of metropolitan France least affected were those of Brittany and Corsica.

Abstract France was the first European country to confirm cases of COVID-19, being one of the most affected by the pandemic in the first wave. This case study analyzed the measures adopted by the country in the fight against COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, correlating it to the characteristics of its health and surveillance system. As a welfare state, it relied on compensatory policies and protection of the economy, as well as increased investments in health. There were weaknesses in the preparation and delay in the implementation of the coping plan. The response was coordinated by the national executive power, adopting strict lockdowns in the first two waves, mitigating restrictive measures in the other waves, after the increase in vaccination coverage and in the face of population resistance. The country faced problems with testing, case and contact surveillance and patient care, especially in the first wave. It was necessary to modify the health insurance rules to expand coverage, access and better articulation of surveillance actions. It indicates lessons learned about the limits of its social security system, but also the potential of a government with a strong response capacity in the financing of public policies and regulation of other sectors to face the crisis.

Santé publique France's mission is to improve and protect the health of populations. During the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 epidemic, Public Health France is responsible for monitoring and understanding the dynamics of the epidemic, anticipating the different scenarios and implementing actions to prevent and limit the transmission of this virus on the national territory.

Daily hospital data relating to the COVID-19 epidemic by department and sex of the patient: number of hospitalized patients, number of people currently in intensive care or intensive care, cumulative number of people returned home, cumulative number of people who died.

For some patients, gender was not identified in the database. This can lead to a discrepancy between the H/F sum of an indicator and the total number of this indicator.

The region and iso 3166-1 codes of the zones have been added.

Warning: data under construction. May contain anomalies or missing data.

The minimum of 8 index was recorded in February 2020, while the maximum of 88 index was reached in April 2020. | TheGlobalEconomy.com

Since December 2019, a new agent, the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus has been rapidly spreading from China to other countries causing an international outbreak of respiratory illnesses named COVID-19. In France, the first cases have been reported at the end of January with more than 60000 cases reported since then. A significant proportion (20-30%) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be admitted to intensive care unit. However, few data are available for this special population in France.

We conduct a large observational cohort of ICU suspected or proven COVID-19 patients that will enable to describe the initial management of COVID 19 patients admitted to ICU and to identify factors correlated to clinical outcome.

WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Confirmed: To-Date: France data was reported at 38,997,490.000 Person in 24 Dec 2023. This stayed constant from the previous number of 38,997,490.000 Person for 23 Dec 2023. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Confirmed: To-Date: France data is updated daily, averaging 9,850,650.000 Person from Jan 2020 (Median) to 24 Dec 2023, with 1431 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 38,997,490.000 Person in 24 Dec 2023 and a record low of 0.000 Person in 25 Jan 2020. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Confirmed: To-Date: France data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Health Organization. The data is categorized under High Frequency Database’s Disease Outbreaks – Table WHO.D002: World Health Organization: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019): by Country and Region (Discontinued). In 05 March 2020 report, the figures were reduced from prior situation reports due to separation of territories. Due to some inclusions and exclusions of cases that are not properly reflected in WHO report, which are the result of the retrospective adjustments of national authorities, some current day “To-date” figures will not tally to the sum of previous day “To-date” cases and current day new reported cases. Figures with excluded cases are relatively lower compared to the previous day.

An evaluation was conducted to predict the economic and clinical burden of vaccinating all immunocompromised (IC) individuals aged ≥30 years with mRNA-1273 variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccines versus BNT162b2 variant-adapted vaccines in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 in France. The number of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations or deaths due to COVID-19, and long COVID cases, costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were estimated using a static decision-analytic model. Predicted vaccine effectiveness (VE) were based on real-world data from the original and BA.4/5 variant-adapted vaccines, suggesting higher protection against infection and hospitalization with mRNA-1273 vaccines. VE estimates were combined with COVID-19 incidence and probability of COVID-19 severe outcomes. Uncertainty surrounding VE, vaccine coverage, infection incidence, hospitalization and mortality rates, costs and QALYs were evaluated in sensitivity analyses. In an ideal situation where 100% coverage is achieved, the mRNA-1273 variant-adapted vaccine is predicted to prevent an additional 3,882 infections, 357 hospitalizations, 81 deaths, and 326 long COVID cases when compared to BNT162b2 variant-adapted vaccines in 230,000 IC individuals. This translates to €10.1 million cost-savings from a societal perspective and 645 QALYs gained. Results were consistent across all analyses and most sensitive to variations surrounding VE and coverage. These findings highlight the importance of increasing vaccine coverage, and ability to induce higher levels of protection with mRNA-1273 formulations in this vulnerable population.
