In 2023, there were around 77 cases of whooping cough per 1,000 residents up to the age of four. Figures dropped since 2017. 2021 saw a new low in the number of cases, probably due to the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, however, there was an increase in cases, and the number of cases for those under the age of four was the highest since 2013.
