the number of contaminations is on the rise again

Lilwenn is a contact case in her kindergarten class, in Plérin (Côtes-d’Armor). The self-test carried out at home turned out to be positive. She came to confirm this result in this laboratory near Saint-Brieuc. Like her, more and more of them are getting tested, even if the activity remains for the time being far from that of January. “Since the return from the holidays we have really had a very high circulation, with a positivity rate approaching 50% on the tests that we carry out in the laboratory”confides Marianne Collot-Gaubert, biologist.

The trend is the same everywhere in France, with an incidence rate of 742.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, against 540 at the beginning of March. At the hospital, for the time being, the rebound is not being felt. Currently, in the country, 1,695 patients with Covid are in critical care.
