No new people hospitalized today.

172 people have so far been cured, 18 people are hospitalized, including 2 in intensive care and Guyana has died.

Guyana's territory went from green to orange yesterday in the map of France for phase 2 of the deconfinement, which will start on Tuesday. Four criteria are now taken into account when deciding the status of a department.

For two variables, Guyana is not in green.

The positivity rate of virological tests over the last 7 days. The vigilance threshold (orange) is set at 5%; the alert threshold (red) at 10%. Guyana is at 11%.

The evolution of R0. For each department, the number of people infected per patient has been calculated. In Guyana, this rate is between 1 and 1.5. That is to say, each patient will infect more than one person.

For two variables, Guyana is in green

The number of positive tests per 100,000 inhabitants. The vigilance threshold is set at 10 positive tests per 100,000 inhabitants per day, on average over a week. In Guyana, with 25 to 29 positive tests per day, this rate is around 8 to 9 per 100,000. This despite the intensive screening operation in Saint-Georges and the targeted operations carried out in certain clusters and / or affected districts by the Covid-19.

Hospital tension over resuscitation capacity. The vigilance threshold is set at 40% of occupied resuscitation beds. Guyana, with two patients receiving intensive care for Covid-19, is below this threshold.

Covid-19 test accessible for any suspicion

Clara de Bort, the director general of ARS Guyana clarified this Sunday on our channels

We have taken an important step in Guyana.
We visited all the laboratories on Cayenne Island. They are ready to open the Covid-19 test samples on Tuesday.
Until now, people with suspected coronaviruses had to call 15 and then usually have their samples taken at the hospital.
As of Tuesday, if someone feels they may be Covid, they should call their doctor.


ARS Guyane explains that it wants to maintain a rapid capacity for resuscitation devices, both Covid and non-Covid, on Guyanese territory.

The ARS specifies

The number of resuscitation beds, first increased from 13 to 40, was then increased to 70. These capacities are reinforced, these days, by the arrival of 13 additional respirators in Guyana. They will be allocated to hospitals in Kourou and western Guyana.


Health systems are reinforced at the borders. The rule remains that of closing borders, except for patients suffering from chronic pathologies, followed in Guyana and having an appointment, as well as for vital emergencies.

At the bridge over the Oyapock, those wishing to return to Guyana have been greeted for the past two weeks by a nurse. They are now all tested.
