The solution recommended by the Haute Autorité de santé is to get tested before finding your loved ones for the holidays. The call was widely heard, more than a million tests were carried out, Thursday, December 23, according to the Ministry of Health.
A few hours before Christmas Eve, everyone has their reasons for being tested. “Christmas is done with the family, so everyone needs to be quiet”, says a passerby. More than 300 tests per day are carried out in this tent, a pace similar to that of another pharmacy. Despite appointments spread over the day, you also have to wait before being tested.
Only a pharmacist was present to take these samples a week ago, today there are three. On the reception side, we also had to review the organization and open an hour longer than usual. The staff are under pressure but not helpless: “We had planned, we had anticipated, we have the necessary number of tests “, says Stéphanie Barbey, manager of the Grande Pharmacie Lyon – Saxe Boticinal. Some professionals believe that the demand for testing will continue to be strong in the coming days.
