It’s a signal. The increase in coronavirus cases between June 14 and 20, 2021 in Martinique is like a light that changes from green to orange. The resumption of circulation of the virus with the holidays raises fears of a 4th wave for the month of August 2021 on the island.

86 cases of coronavirus between June 14 and 20, 2021 in Martinique. That is 18 more cases than the previous week. If the progression of coronavirus cases is not yet dramatic, it has cause for concern for specialists.
The virus is circulating, it is still there as we barely come out of the 3rd wave. We have come very close to the saturation of our health system and if we do nothing we risk a 4th wave.
For specialists, respect for barrier gestures and vaccination are the only “remedies” to avoid a 4th wave on the island within a few months.
The approach of the holidays, the desire to relax after confinement raises concerns about the spread of the virus if the barrier gestures are not observed on the one hand and if the vaccination rate remains as low.
We are at 15% vaccination rate in Martinique and attendance at vaccination centers is declining. People need to understand that this virus is not something benign. It can lead to death. Some patients suffer from a long covid and do not fully recover their physical capacities.
In France, theThe Delta variant is spreading very quickly and a few cases have already been detected in Martinique. The approach of thousands of travelers can cause a progression of Delta variant cases which will be difficult to contain if no one is careful.
