According to figures from Public Health France which have just been published, the incidence rate of Covid, in the Nord department, is back above the alert threshold.
This Monday, October 25, it amounts to 54 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. A figure which includes the tests carried out until last week, that is to say Friday, October 22.
It had been increasing for three weeks, after seven consecutive weeks of decline.
Last week, the northern prefecture reduced the wearing of masks outdoors. It is therefore possible to collect it near markets, shopping centers, schools or public transport stations.
In Pas de Calais, the incidence rate was 30 cases per 100,000 inhabitants on 22 October.
