In a statement, the prefecture of Reunion and the Regional Health Agency announced two new cases of coronavirus confirmed this Thursday, May 7. R?union has now had 427 cases since the virus appeared on the island on March 11.
70% of cases imported
According to the prefecture of Reunion, of the 427 cases, 425 were investigated at this time by the ARS and Public Health France. Two cases are still under investigation. Imported cases still represent 70% of cases.
- Imported cases (people who contracted the disease outside the territory): 300
- Secondary indigenous cases (persons having a direct link with imported cases): 66
- Indigenous cases (people with an indirect link or having no link with an imported case): 59
Eight hospitalized patients
Eight patients with Covid-19 are currently hospitalized in Reunion, including three in the intensive care unit. Yesterday, only two people were in intensive care.
Age groups of the cases investigated:
- 0 to 14 years: 8% (34 cases)
- 15 to 44 years: 41.2%
- 45 to 64 years: 39.5%
- 65 to 74 years: 7.3%
- 75 and over: 4%
3,500 "contact" people
All confirmed cases are the subject of the identification of all those who have been in contact with these patients (family, professional, close passengers in planes ...).
To date, nearly 3,500 people have been identified through contact-tracing organized by ARS. All these people were contacted by the ARS in order to request strict confinement, to ensure their state of health, to refer them without delay to the SAMU-15 in the event of the appearance of signs and to deliver them masks to ensure protection against their immediate surroundings.
Authorities say the goal remains "to identify any cases as early as possible to quickly trace their path, to recontact and isolate anyone who may have been in contact with the case during their infectious period".
