The regional health agency sets the tone in its latest bulletin released this Friday, August 28: “Faced with a clear intensification of the circulation of the virus in New Aquitaine; let us unite to protect the most fragile!”
It must be said that a few days before the start of the school year, the ARS is worried about the rapid spread of the virus with a 6-fold increase in positive cases in 3 weeks in New Aquitaine.
The various indicators monitored show an unprecedented increase in viral circulation for the whole of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, as for several departments.
From 280 cases at the very beginning of August to nearly 1,700 cases in the week of August 17 to 23, the incidence rate has in fact increased markedly and is approaching 30 per 100,000 inhabitants in the whole of the New region. Aquitaine at the last score. Emergency room visits for suspected COVID-19 also increased slightly.
The Gironde is particularly exposed to the spread of the virus. It has remained classified red since Tuesday, August 25. Wearing a mask is also made compulsory in the Bordeaux urban area in open-air markets and around schools within 50 meters.

In Bordeaux, the city perimeter, where the wearing of a mask is essential and becomes regulated, is expanded as announced by Mayor Pierre Hurmic this Friday, August 28.
The Gironde recorded two new clusters, and more precisely in the Bordeaux agglomeration, each time in the professional environment in Mérignac and Bouliac.
The Pyrénées-Atlantiques remain in moderate vulnerability. Two new clusters again in a private leisure company in Saint-Etienne-de-Baigorry and in the workplace in Pau.
The other departments are in limited vulnerability, with particular vigilance in Lot-et-Garonne where four new epidemic outbreaks have emerged in Montayral in a professional environment in Villeneuve-sur-Lotet Saint-Robert during a private event. Finally, a new EHPAD is concerned in Lamontjoie where six people have tested positive.
Two new clusters were spotted in Dordogne in Périgueux in a professional environment and in Sarlat during a private event.
