AT Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), the coronavirus spreads very quickly, in a city where wearing a mask is not always respected, especially in good weather on the Promenade des Anglais. The city’s incidence rate is 541 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the highest in France, almost three times the national average of 190. How to explain it? “The circulation of the virus goes with the circulation of people, it is an area where there is a lot of circulation and that can partly explain this phenomenon.“, estimates Professor Michel Carles, head of the infectious disease department at L’Archet hospital (CHU de Nice).
To limit this movement, controls have been reinforced at the borders and with the Principality of Monaco. The metropolis has wastewater analyzed twice a week, which makes it possible to locate the clusters. Of the 11 neighborhoods analyzed, seven present worrying figures. Testing and awareness campaigns should be deployed.
