Almost 7,000 tests have been carried out. “We have had a proactive policy, we are one of the academies which has deployed the most tests” specifies the rectorate. The health situation in Doubs affected by the British variant then Haute-Saône where the South African and Brazilian variants are present explains this screening policy.
The health protocol has been strengthened since the start of the April 26 school year. From now on, the closing of a class is systematic from the first positive case detected.
