Projects such as the European Covid-19 Forecast Hub publish forecasts on national level for new deaths, cases, and hospital admissions, but not direct measurements of strain like critical care bed occupancy at sub-national level, which is particular interest to health professionals planning purposes. We present a French framework forecasting based non-Markovian compartmental model, its associated online visualisation tool retrospective evaluation real-time it provided from January December 2021 by comparing three baselines derived standard statistical methods (a naive auto-regression, an ensemble exponential smoothing ARIMA). In terms median absolute error unit two-week horizon, our model only outperformed baseline 4 out 14 geographical units underperformed compared 5 them 90% confidence ( n = 38). However, same week was never statistically any despite outperforming 10 times spanning 7 units. This implies modest utility longer horizons may justify application models in context hospital-strain surveillance future pandemics.
