One new death in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
In the Nièvre, more precisely in the regional hospital grouping (GHT, grouping all the Nivernais hospitals except that of Clamecy), no new death is to be deplored Friday May 15 (22 since the beginning of the crisis), announced, Denis Thuriot mayor of Nevers and president of the supervisory board of the hospital of Nevers and of the committee of elected officials of the GHT, in his daily update (no assessment will be proposed during the weekend, announced the elected official).
A new patient was placed in intensive care. According to Denis Thuriot, this is not a Covid-19 positive case proven for the moment, but a suspicion. The number of hospitalizations now amounts to 24: 3 patients in intensive care and 21 in the Colbert follow-up care and rehabilitation center in the Covid-19 sector.
The number of people tested positive in the context of GHT has not changed: it is still 277, despite 17 new tests carried out (1,877 in all). An “encouraging” stabilization according to Denis Thuriot.
The total number of health professionals positive for the disease is still 103, of which 79 are cured. Two hundred and five people in total are healed.

Clamecy hospital is part of a group with Auxerre, Tonnerre and Avallon, in Yonne. “This is a so-called third-line hospital in the fight against the coronavirus,” explains Claudine Boisorieux, former mayor of Clamecy and still president of the hospital’s supervisory board, while waiting for her successor, Nicolas Bourdoune, take office. “It can accommodate patients who require medical supervision but does not have an intensive care unit for the most serious cases”.
The Clamecycois hospital thus has six beds dedicated to welcoming people affected by the epidemic. If the condition of these patients worsens and requires resuscitation, they are transferred to Auxerre or Nevers, depending on the places available. No death from the coronavirus was deplored in the upper Nivernais.
In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, the decline in the number of people hospitalized continues (811), notes the regional health agency in its press release of Saturday, May 16. The number of patients in intensive care is stable (94); only one death has been recorded since the previous day (959 in total); 2,975 people were discharged from hospital.
“The new Covid-19 screening strategy, in force since May 11 (…) continues to ramp up in the Region with 1,919 test results recorded on the single day of May 15. Twenty-eight of these results are positive, each department counting at least one new case with the exception of Nièvre “, where there were 149 tests, continues the ARS.

Data concerning deaths in medico-social establishments are not communicated daily.
Deconfinement
That’s it ! After nearly two months of confinement, the time is up for deconfinement from Monday, May 11 throughout France. The Nièvre, classified red, must, like other departments, comply with a certain number of adaptations, authorizations, tolerances and prohibitions:
- the walk is again possible on the banks of the Loire and the canals, in addition to fishing, from this Monday. The Nivernais lakes will nevertheless remain inaccessible to the public;
- individual outdoor sports can be practiced without time limit; without certificate; within a home distance limit of less than 100 km; limiting gatherings to a maximum of 10 people; outdoors only. Individual indoor sports (gymnasiums, swimming pools, etc.) remain prohibited, as well as team and contact sports, even outdoors;
- schools are scheduled to reopen Thursday, May 14; colleges and high schools remain closed;
- in the agglomeration of Nevers, the Taneo network regains 75% of its activity, as well as all of the services on Sundays and evenings. On the other hand, the courinelle does not resume immediately. The wearing of a mask is compulsory on buses;

And for students who live in priority education neighborhoods, this figure drops to 5.7%. “We call parents one by one, because it is important that they return to class to avoid creating inequalities with other students. In CP, students in priority education districts are 30% with weaknesses in oral reading. It’s 12 points higher than other students, so learning is important. “
Schools reopening on May 14: a headache for Nivernais mayors
