The numbers of positive cases in Covid-19 vary from region to region. If the situation improves in Île-de-France, in New Aquitaine, the contaminations climb. AT Brive (Correze), the authorities organize walk-in tests during the weekly market.
The Brivists were able to go to the market and then get tested… Or the opposite. Organized on Saturday January 22 by the civil protection, under the leadership of the ARS and the town hall, the operation made it possible to carry out a hundred tests. A third of them tested positive, hence the importance of increasing the possibilities of screening. “There is a lack of personnel to test the population, to come and do tests for free and without an appointment, this is a new possibility for the population”, emphasizes Hugo Jarry, head of the civil protection campaign.
In the queue, many contact cases and asymptomatic people, looking for quick results. “The centers are saturated, but we were able to get tested here”, indicates a mother. “We saw that yesterday, we thought it was more practical in our organization of the weekend”, explains a resident. The device will be renewed the next Saturdays.
