What is the situation presented to the Minister of Health in the prefecture?
“In the Moselle hospitals, the plateau is high and the staff are tired, even sick. The situation is therefore worrying in the face of the circulation of the virus and more particularly of the highly contagious variants. The staff problem has consequences for the bed problem. ”
What is the situation in critical care services?
“We have 500 cases of Covid in Moselle in public and private establishments, including 128 in critical care. At the CHR, we have 172 patients including 125 in medicine and 41 in critical care. We are preparing to move to 161 sheave beds by the start of next week. As a reminder, we had nearly 200 beds during the first wave. We benefit from experience feedback which allows us to better treat patients in normal beds. “
Has the minister provided you with answers on the personnel problem?
“Today we are very gradually increasing these sheave beds because all hospitals are saving their human resources. He heard me. I insisted on the lack of nurses and doctors. We also call for a different distribution of interns in medicine taking into account the population pools … “
Have transfers been mentioned?
“We have already transferred two or three patients to Nancy to take charge of immediate emergencies. But if we have to exceed 161 beds, we will have to consider transfers to other departments. “
What is the general situation in hospitals?
“For all the structures, 533 beds in Moselle are currently dedicated to the Covid. We are at level 1. We are getting ready to move on to the second level for which we will exceed the deprogramming rate of activities which is already 50%. We are working with private and public hospitals to ensure that the distributions are fair. “
For vaccination, the minister promised 2,000 doses of Moderna immediately
” I trust him. It was also decided to open all centers on weekends. I prepare their opening. “
Will the incidence in Moselle make it possible to benefit from more vaccines?
“I pleaded for this, knowing that the vaccine is part of the answer. I cannot afford to have problems with human resources and people getting sick. I asked for vaccine formulas without effects. I cannot afford to have sick nurses. “

Variant “signals” in the Meuse
In Meuse, there is at least one case of a proven variant. This one was identified Wednesday at the college of Clermont-en-Argonne, in a student of 5e. As a result, due to a large number of contact cases, to comply with the new, stricter protocol, the Argonne college, which spans two sites, was closed.
On Friday, the Meuse delegate from the ARS refused to communicate figures on the number of cases of variants in the Meuse, “because these are figures whose robustness and reliability remain to be demonstrated”. However, he allowed himself to speak of “signals, with the presence of 11 British signals and 14 signals of Brazilian and South African variants”.
Since Thursday, there are also several classes of nursery or elementary schools, colleges affected as a result of intra-family contaminations.
At the same time, the Meuse has a declining incidence rate (154 for the general population and 107 for those over 65).
