French Guiana (FG) is an ultra-peripheral European region in the Amazon, and the COVID-19 epidemic has had very different kinetics from both its giant neighbors, Brazil or mainland France.
This study summarized the epidemics of COVID-19 in FG.
The tropical climate, multiethnicity, and remoteness of the population forced healthcare providers to accordingly adapt the management of the epidemic. Incidence and mortality have been lower than that in Europe and Latin America due to a combination of prevalence of the youth in the population and highly developed healthcare system.
Currently, vaccine hesitancy hinders the rapid expansion of vaccine coverage.
法属圭亚那(FG)是亚马逊地区的一个极偏远欧洲地区,其 COVID-19 疫情的动态与它的两个巨型邻国巴西或法国本土有很大的不同。
本研究总结了 FG 地区 COVID-19 疫情的情况。
热带气候、人口的多种族性和偏远性迫使医疗保健提供者相应地调整了对疫情的管理。由于人口中年轻人的普遍存在和高度发达的医疗保健系统,发病率和死亡率低于欧洲和拉丁美洲。
目前,疫苗犹豫阻碍了疫苗接种范围的快速扩大。
