after a lull, the number of positive cases is rising sharply

In a laboratory in Grenoble (Isere)a dozen screenings have already been carried out since the start of the day, Wednesday June 29. Most often, the tests are requested by symptomatic patients. After a long lull, the Covid-19 has resumed its rights in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The incidence rate quadrupled in one month. “We closed certain time slots the weeks before because it was much quieter. But there, we open to the request of patients and the number of people who have symptoms“, explains Stacy Boutaultnurse at Eurofins Crolles.

For fear of the virus, some have rediscovered the reflex of barrier gestures and decided to put on a mask. Across France, nearly 150,000 new positive cases were recorded on Tuesday, June 28. So those who can hurry to get their second booster dose. On the other hand, in a vaccination center in Orléans (Loiret)the candidates do not jostle. However, the severity of the seventh wave could depend on this fourth dose. In hospitals, there is a slight increase in bed occupancy throughout France.
