why Pas-de-Calais and not Seine-Saint-Denis?

There is the same incidence rate in several departments of Ile de France and we only border on Pas-de-Calais! Liberty, equality, fraternity: what equality in this Republic? Are there sub-citizens in France who just have to shut up and put up with it?

Two departments, the same incidence rate

According to Public Health France, the incidence rate of new confirmed cases is effectively the same in these two departments, ide 411 per 100,000 inhabitants over seven rolling days as of March 1. But for the Minister of Health, it was necessary to take into account other criteria, in particular the situation of hospitals. Asked about BFM TV, Olivier Véran explains that “the hospital health burden is not the same in the Hauts-de-France region and in Île-de-France”.

A global vision for Île-de-France

Above all, the government chose a global vision for the Ile-de-France departments. “Because there are such social interactions between one Ile-de-France department and another that putting in place measures on weekends in Seine-Saint-Denis would mean putting them in place throughout the Ile-de-France. . However, if this could be discussed in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, in a certain number of neighboring departments, it was not essential at this stage “, continued the minister.

No containment, but speed up vaccination

Instead of confining the Ile-de-France departments, the government favors another option: step up screening and vaccination starting this weekend. Most vaccination centers will remain open on Saturday and Sunday in Île-de-France, where new injection sites will be added in order to to sell more than 50,000 doses in two days, indicates the Regional Health Agency.
