"Today we have the first European cases, probably because we developed the test very quickly and are able to identify them," said Buzyn. "You have to treat an epidemic like you treat a fire, quickly locate the source" and "circumscribe it as quickly as possible," she said.
Stays in China

The Bordeaux patient is a 48-year-old French man of Chinese descent, currently in solitary confinement at the Bordeaux University Hospital. "He is fine," said the minister. He was taken care of on January 23 by SOS Doctors with classic flu-like symptoms of fever and cough.

During this consultation, the doctor asked him if he had traveled recently, according to the account of SOS Doctors published on Facebook. He said he returned from the Netherlands, but added that he had also just stayed in China and had passed through Wuhan. "Instantly", the doctor went "to absolute emergency mode": mask, isolation. In collaboration with the SAMU of Gironde, the patient was hospitalized at the Bordeaux University Hospital for assessment and observation. "We know that since he has been on French territory, he has been in contact with a dozen people, we will contact them," said Agn?s Buzyn.

The minister, who indicated that she had information on the second positive case just before the press point, was unable to give details of the patient, indicating however that he had gone to China and that he was hospitalized at Bichat hospital in Paris. Later that evening, a third case, a close relative of one of the cases, which was under investigation, was confirmed by the Ministry of Health.

"The system is ready to deal with this situation," assures Le Monde Aur?lien Rousseau, the director general of the Ile-de-France regional health agency, whose services are responsible for investigating the lives of those affected. "Since Ebola, the organization is fairly well established, the cases identified in the region are referred to the infectious diseases departments of Bichat, Piti? and Necker hospitals, the three reference health establishments," he said. Asked about the number of places available, Mr. Rousseau said that with seven beds in Bichat, seven beds in La Piti? and "dozens of places that could be mobilized" in hospitals in Ile-de-France, the region is "able to absorb more 'cases.

Agnes Buzyn said she was "extremely attentive" to the development of the situation, stressing that "we will probably have other cases". An information point will be held daily. She noted that it was not possible to control the "multiple routes" to return from China: "We can see the difficulty, in a world like ours, of closing the borders, it is in reality not possible . "

"For travelers returning from China, it is important to keep an eye on yourself, and at the slightest sign of breathing or if you have a fever, you should not go to the emergency room, you must call center 15 which picks up the patient", she insisted.

China has stepped up efforts to contain the spread of a new killer virus with the confinement of more than 40 million people. The official death toll from the coronavirus, which appeared in a market in central China's Wuhan in December, worsened further on Friday with 26 dead.

Coronavirus: first three confirmed cases in France

Patients in Paris and Bordeaux were placed in isolation on Friday after being infected with the Chinese virus.

By Etienne Jacob
Posted 2 hours ago, updated 2 hours ago

ALAIN JOCARD / AFP

So far, Minister of Health Agn?s Buzyn has been reassuring about the potential introduction of the 2019-nCoV Chinese virus in France. "The risk is low but not excluded," she said Tuesday. After stays in Wuhan, the cradle of the disease, two suspected cases were also "negative". The recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), which said on Thursday that it was "too early to declare a public health emergency of international concern", went in the same direction.

But on Friday evening, the minister confirmed the existence of two cases in France. The first, from Gironde, is 48 years old. He consulted for symptoms on January 23, after returning from China via Wuhan for work. “He has been hospitalized since yesterday in Bordeaux, in an isolated room. He has been in contact with a dozen people since his arrival, "said Agnes Buzyn during a press briefing. The second infected, detected in Paris, was placed in solitary confinement at Bichat hospital in the 18th arrondissement. "We know this person has traveled to China, but we do not know if they have stayed in Wuhan," said Duquesne Avenue tenant. Late Friday evening, the health ministry announced that a third case had been confirmed in the capital. This “close relative” of the Paris patient was also placed in isolation.
...
Less confident than two days ago, Agnes Buzyn admitted that it is now "likely that there will be other cases in Europe". And to add: "You have to treat an epidemic like you treat a fire, quickly locate the source" and "circumscribe it as quickly as possible". For health services, the goal now is to "tell the story of these positive patients so as to get in touch with the people they have met," said Buzyn. The latter suggested that the incubation period for the coronavirus would be "around seven days, between two and twelve days".

People with whom infected patients have been in contact have been asked to take their temperature several times a day, contact Center 15 if they have symptoms and stay at home. Going to the emergency room is strongly prohibited. "The best way to spread a disease is to go directly to the emergency room, where you will be in contact with others", analyzes Yazdan Yazdanpanah, head of the infectious diseases department at the Bichat hospital.
...
On the health care side, the international epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003 is on everyone's mind. This disease had affected nearly 8,100 people, killing 774. “Since that time, we have changed the way we work. Infrastructures have been put in place, people have been trained, we do exercises regularly. In Paris, Bichat Hospital and Piti?-Salp?tri?re are specialized in this kind of infections, "says Yazdan Yazdanpanah, also director of the Institute of Infectious Disease at Inserm. According to the professor, many calls have already been recorded by centers 15 in France and in Parisian hospitals.

Internally, vigilance instructions have been sent to healthcare staff. "It's serious, we have a real epidemic, but the risk of spreading remains very low in Europe and in France," says the expert. Agnes Buzyn, she wanted to be almost resigned on Friday, finding that it was impossible to control the multiple routes to return from the Middle Kingdom. "We can see the difficulty in closing the borders in a world like ours, it is really not possible."

No, that is not the case. In the evening of January 24, France reported that there are patients with the new corona virus. It was stated that one of the patients had traveled through the Netherlands. We have been in contact with the French authorities and it appears to be a misunderstanding. The patient from France has not been to the Netherlands, but has taken a direct flight to France.

Coronavirus: "A dozen cases under surveillance" currently in France, says Agn?s Buzyn

The Minister of Health will have a meeting with the Prime Minister at 5 p.m. this Sunday.

By Ch.G.
January 26, 2020 at 12:41 p.m., modified January 26, 2020 at 1:25 p.m.

The number of cases of coronavirus should soon increase in France. "I expect there will be new cases, as elsewhere," said Minister of Health Agn?s Buzyn on Sunday during the RTL Grand Jury, Le Figaro, LCI.

“This morning there are five people under assessment, put in isolation. A dozen cases are under surveillance. A blood test is being tested for the virus, "said the member of the government. These blood tests will therefore confirm or not whether people are carriers of the coronavirus.
...
She takes care to specify that “all the infected people have been in China. We have no case (contracted) in France. People who have symptoms probably have the flu. ” She also adds that "we are the first to have developed a test, that's why we probably detected cases".
...
"Taking the temperature is false security"
Agnes Buzyn also explained why the temperature of passengers from China is not systematically taken. "Taking the temperature is a symbol, it appeals to the population, but it is false security that is useless. The World Health Organization does not recommend this technique. The most appropriate is to give information to passengers, which we do, on paper, in three languages. "

It specifies that a ban by France alone on flights from China would be useless. “In an epidemic with a new virus, we assess the risk day by day. Today, we do not want a ban on flights from China. But an international decision is needed, at least in Europe, because people would arrive via Brussels (Belgium) or Barcelona (Spain) ”.
...
The Minister also recalled that "there is no indication to wear a mask in France, except to be at home in isolation".

She also recalls that “the blue mask does not protect anything. In addition, we have tens of millions of masks in stock that we would distribute if necessary. ”

Coronavirus: Bordeaux patient testifies for the first time

The 48-year-old Frenchman of Chinese origin had traveled to Shanghai and Wuhan, the stronghold of the epidemic, in China, to visit his family. By Le Point.fr

Published on 01/26/2020 at 18:24 | Le Point.fr

He said he was not worried about his health. Aged 48, a Frenchman of Chinese origin is currently in the care of the high-risk infectious diseases unit at the Bordeaux University Hospital . Suffering from the new strain of coronavirus , 2019-nCoV, he is currently in an isolation room and a guard is guarding his door. The local newspaper Sud-Ouest went to meet him.

"I still have a fever and I cough more than yesterday," reports the patient, who says he has confidence in the medical team who takes care of him. “Here, everyone who enters is in a suit, with masks, gloves and glasses. We have no physical contact, ”he says, adding that he has no treatment other than Doliprane to lower his fever. "This virus is still unknown, but I know the researchers are working" to find a drug.

A sales adviser in the wine sector, the 40-year-old visited China last week to visit his family, in Shanghai and in the city of Wuhan, where the virus first appeared. “There, at the beginning of last week, everyone knew that this virus existed, but people were not worried. Besides, very few wore masks outside, ”he recalls to the regional daily. He believes he was infected at the Wuhan bus station, where the fish market is located (where the virus was detected), or on the train. “I started coughing a few days later. "

“I returned to Bordeaux on Wednesday evening. I did some shopping, then the next day I called SOS Doctors. I was afraid of being infected and I told them, they asked me to come to the office, ”says the patient from Bordeaux. “When I returned to France , I realized in the press that the virus had grown considerably. If he claims to have had little contact with his relatives since his return to France, all were still contacted by the team from the infectious diseases unit.
