The obligation to wear a mask in shops, the quarantine and isolation of suspicious and sick people has made it possible to halt the increase in the number of positive cases for Covid-19 in the canton of Jura. For two weeks, only one new case has been identified on Jura soil.
The canton calls on the population not to lower their guard despite these encouraging figures.
During the first half of July, the canton of Jura still recorded between two and eight new cases of Covid-19 per day. During this same period, nearly 500 people were placed in quarantine and 30 others in isolation.
For several weeks, surveys of entourage have mobilized significant resources, especially nursing staff. They make it possible to quickly circumscribe the foci of infection and to identify the zero patient in most cases, recalled Tuesday the Jurassic Health Service.
