Source: Own elaboration based on data from Santé publique France, INSEE. This flow chart should be read from top to bottom. On the left side and in green are the exits from care pathways. On the right side and in orange are to be found the visible individuals. The blue color introduces the geographical variable and also defines the interface between civil society and health care system. There is no information before testing. The authorities do not provide any further details about community medicine. The lower part of the chart depicts the procedure and arrangements for patient care. Some hospital units involved in the COVID-19 system at different degrees remain out of sight. Despite the number of cases observed, EHPAD and EMS are marginally present
