### Tracking COVID-19 epidemic activity
Three indicators are used to determine the epidemic activity of the territories:
— **the incidence rate**: the number of new positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants over 7 slippery days;
— **the incidence rate in seniors**: the number of new positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants in those over 65 years of age, over 7 slippery days;
— **the share of COVID patients in resuscitation**: the number of COVID+ patients out of the total number of beds occupied in resuscitation.
### Description of data
**This dataset shows the rate of occupancy of resuscitation beds by Covid-19 patients. That is, the number of Covid-19 patients admitted to resuscitation divided by the total resuscitation capacity (CAS).**
Please note that:
— **geographical mail**: the share of COVID-19 patients in resuscitation services is established at regional level. It is thus identical for metropolises that belong to the same region. You can consult this [dataset](https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/indicateurs-de-suivi-de-lepidemie-de-covid-19/) for the same departmental and national grid indicator.
— **update frequency**: the file is updated daily.
