This means that it will no longer be possible to buy alcohol in shops that sell it from 9 p.m., and that its consumption in the street will be prohibited.

For a month we have observed that the activity of the virus is developing – Fabien Sudry, prefect of Côte-d’Or

A decision taken as the number of people positive for COVID-19 increases in Dijon and Côte-d’Or. “We are not far from entering the heightened alert zone“, specifies the prefect of Côte d’Or, Fabien Sudry. The incidence rate is currently 160 cases per 100,000 people in the metropolis. A figure beyond the alert threshold set at 150 cases. On the other hand, it is lower for the Côte-d’Or, namely 110 cases per 100,000 people.

From there to moving into a heightened alert zone like 11 French metropolises, such as Lille, Rennes or Bordeaux? “Nothing is inevitable. I call on everyone’s responsibility to avoid taking the epidemic to the next level“, answers François Rebsamen, the mayor of Dijon.

A decision on maintaining the Dijon fair expected next week

A question remains on whether or not to maintain the Dijon fair. The prefecture must make its decision and announce it at the end of next week.
