Since the appearance of the Covid-19, the Regional Health Agency of Nouvelle-Aquitaine adapted its communication as the pandemic evolves. The regional authorities which had taken the pace of two publications per week since the summer (Tuesday and Friday), listing the clusters detected by department and the number of associated positive cases (the latest on Friday August 28), will now move towards a weekly summary.
“A new presentation is being prepared and will be released before the end of this week. It will offer a summary table grouping all the health indicators for monitoring Covid-19, a key figure and an analysis of the evolution of the epidemic in the region, as well as prevention messages, “said the press release on Tuesday. On Twitter, this announcement prompted some scathing comments.
“More general lighting”
Is this decision related to the increase in the number of positive cases? “Not at all. As do many regional health agencies, we decided to issue one press release per week. After if the situation were to change, we would change,” explains the communication department.
The ARS of Nouvelle-Aquitaine – which was one of the few to do so – will stop publishing a detailed list of clusters. “The information is nested in relation to different clusters, it evolves very quickly during the day. It does not really need to be seen anyway that the virus circulates on the territory. From now on, we will communicate more on the indicators. with a table that will make it possible to list the number of positive cases, hospitalizations, resuscitations, incidence rate. This will shed a more general light on Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It is important that everyone feels concerned. It is more interesting now to follow these regional indicators, in particular the incidence rate “. Departmental focuses could then accompany the regional synthesis.
