A figure which did not mean the passage in high vigilance, which is in force only in the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône (98.6), Paris (79.6), Guyana (96) , and again this Thursday, from Sarthe (67.8), Val de Marne (59.7), Seine Saint-Denis (53.6), and Hérault (51.1).
“Cross a lot of other data”
Why not the Alpes-Maritimes? “Because you have to cross-reference a lot of other data,” Romain Alexandre, departmental director of the Regional Health Agency, explained on Thursday. “For example, you have to look at the positivity rate of the tests …” But to estimate: “In view of what the data we have draws, the high vigilance alert threshold could be reached early next week …“
That of moderate vigilance was exceeded on August 12.
With the Alpes-Maritimes, the overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin (69.9) is the only one having exceeded the threshold of 50 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants (69.9) to have remained in moderate vigilance this Thursday.
The Alpes-Maritimes which were, according to Public Health France, below the national average since the end of May, suddenly stalled shortly before July 20. Without ever reversing the trend. What will happen when the “high vigilance” alert threshold is reached?
“This stage will offer the prefect the possibility of additional powers, to make other arrangements.“said Romain Alexandre.
This will mean that the virus is on the increase, and is circulating very actively in the territory.
A single case in intensive care
According to data from Public Health France, the positivity rate of the tests remained moderate this Thursday in the Alpes Maritimes, at 1.3% against for example 4.3% in Paris, or 7.1% in Marseille.
Another rather reassuring data: the number of positive cases detected on Thursday was two in the department. Against, for example … no less than 126 cases on August 14.
Since Wednesday, in the Alpes Maritimes, 4 people a day carrying Covid-19 have been hospitalized. A peak was reached on August 13 with 18 people hospitalized in a single day.
This Thursday, 69 people positive for Covid-19 in total were hospitalized in the Alpes-Maritimes, including one person in intensive care.
