France is currently in stage 2 of the management of COVID-19 Coronavirus infection. To date, the virus is present in certain territories and circulates, even if it is not present everywhere in the territory.
In certain departments where the virus circulates and progresses with great intensity, the stage 2 measures have been reinforced and the health care system has been adapted.
The priority is to slow the circulation and spread of the virus on the territory. For this, the simplest measure is the most effective is to apply all barrier gestures . These actions will help reduce the increase in the number of cases, the transmission of the virus and reduce the epidemic peak.
This Monday, March 9, 2020, according to the latest validated data, there are 1,191 confirmed cases. Two additional people died, in Corsica and Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes, bringing the number of deceased to 21.
The aim is to protect the most vulnerable. It is recommended to avoid visits to the elderly, especially those of children under 15 or people with symptoms or sick. In health establishments, visits are limited to one person per patient. Minors and sick people should not visit hospitalized people, including maternity.
The health system is preparing to meet future needs. Health and medico-social establishments anticipate the transition to a white plan. The White (for hospitals and clinics) and Blue (for nursing homes) plans will be triggered by the director of the health establishment in collaboration with the Regional Health Agencies. In anticipation of future needs, the
health reserve is mobilized by the Regional Health Agencies which request it, in support of health establishments.
In order to allow continuity of care in the services, in the context of this exceptional situation, a decree will make it possible to unbundle overtime hours for health professionals in the hospital.
Health professionals in the city will be the first players in health management when we are in stage 3. To simplify their exercise and allow patients access to a doctor in teleconsultation, a decree will soften the conditions for carrying out telemedicine. The obligation to go through his doctor is lifted. Each patient can benefit from a teleconsultation if necessary.
To limit the spread of the virus in the population, nationwide, all gatherings of more than 1,000 people are now prohibited. Events considered useful for the life of the nation will be maintained.
In case of signs of respiratory infection (cough, fever, breathing difficulties), if you live in an area where the virus is circulating or within 14 days of returning from an area where the virus is circulating:
contact the SAMU Center 15
avoid any contact with those around
you does not go to your doctor or to the emergency room
