new health restrictions expected in Reunion

If the beaches of Reunion still attract tourists, the inhabitants look gray. While the island has already been subject to a curfew, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., since the end of December, the prefect is preparing to take more drastic measures. More and more traders are starting to get used to the idea of ​​tougher restrictions. “I think they should revise their thing and do total containment, at least we talk about it more“, comments Kahled Flitti, restaurant manager.

“We feel like we’ve been on hiatus for two years, and we’re not productive“, annoys Corinne Sixdeniers, restaurant manager. At the CHU de Saint-Pierre, in the south of Reunion, almost all the beds in the intensive care units are occupied. “In the past 15 days, we have frequently flirted with the 90.95% mark“, specifies Doctor Julien Cousty, head of the resuscitation service of the CHU Sud Réunion. 700 positive cases are detected every day.
