There is a new case of coronavirus in Guadeloupe, which brings the number of people infected to 155. From now on, the situation of the health authorities will no longer be daily but weekly, just like the epidemiological bulletin published on Friday. However, press releases will be issued in the event of the death or discovery of a COVID-19 cluster.
This Tuesday, May 12, we register a new case, which brings to 155 the number of cumulative cases of coronavirus confirmed by PCR test in Guadeloupe. This is an imported case placed in the fortnight. The coming days are decisive concerning an active resumption of the circulation of the virus on our territory or not. Given the incubation period, if new contaminations occur in the coming days, the period from early June would be significant.
Among the confirmed cases, 4 patients are hospitalized in intensive care at the CHUG where there is no longer any patient in medicine. There are no longer any hospitalized patients at the CHBT or the Marie-Galante CH. Today, a total of 109 people are declared cured in Guadeloupe. The strategy to fight the epidemic to avoid a second wave is now based on five actions: compliance with barrier measures and recommendations for gradually resuming activities, the prescription of PCR tests at the slightest doubt, surveys of contact persons around of a positive case, the isolation of COVID-19 sick people and the epidemiological monitoring of the epidemic.
Let us ensure that our territories classified in green remain so while respecting the measures adopted for the gradual lifting of containment. We must not relax our efforts. Barrier measures and compliance with the curfew are maintained, and dengue fever must not be forgotten by destroying the breeding sites.
