According to the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) the highest excess mortality rate in France, during March and April 2020, linked to COVID-19 is found in the Seine-Saint-Denis (SSD) district [3]. SSD is the poorest district of Greater Paris [4]. We hypothesise that precarity influences the initial severity of COVID-19.Individual precarity seems to be associated with the initial severity of COVID-19 in hospitalised patients under the age of 70. Low socioeconomic status may contribute to the excess mortality observed in the poorest district of Greater ParisDr A. Aigron, Dr D. Bouvry, Dr S. Chauveau, Dr A. Claveirole, Pr T. Chinet, Dr A.
