Covid-19: tested positive, many French people had to isolate themselves for Christmas

Celebrate Christmas a few meters from his family without being able to drink with them, that’s what Pantxika experienced, aged 24 years old. The young woman, positive Covid-19, spent the New Years Eve of Friday, December 24, confined in her teenage room, in Pau in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. It has been months since the family reunited. So that everyone can enjoy the meal, everyone has their own.

The only times the door to the bedroom Pantxika opens, it is to retrieve the plates of the meal. On the New Year’s Eve menu: “green beans and its minced garlic and parsley, small chestnuts and turkey”, indicates the young woman. But nothing can replace family time. When the piano notes resound in the living room, Pantxika must be content with a movie on his computer. Like her, more than 600,000 French people had to isolate themselves for the holidays.
