The latest report from authorities today Friday, March 6, reports 613 people infected with the coronavirus and two new deaths, bringing the death toll to nine since the end of January. Five areas are particularly affected: Oise, Haute-Savoie, Morbihan, Grand-Est and Val-d'Oise. In these "clusters", where the virus is actively circulating, drastic measures have been taken. There is no respite from the Covid-19 epidemic. The 100,000 contamination threshold has been crossed worldwide and the virus is present in 94 countries. Nine people died in France and 39 are in a worrying state. WHAT IS A CLUSTER?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We speak of a "cluster" when at least two cases are found at the same time, in the same area, indicates the Ministry of Health. Very often, an epidemiological link links these cases. It is a "virus circulation outbreak" according to the terminology of the Ministry of National Education, the term outbreak designating an area where the number of cases is greater than two. To prevent the spread of the virus, specific measures have been taken in these areas: CANCELLATION OF ALL PUBLIC EVENTS--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Closure of schools in particularly affected municipalities, associated with an epidemiological assessment process to identify the people to be tested and adapt closure measures over the course of the days. Incentives for residents to use telework and avoid traveling outside the area, or joining public gatherings outside the area (these points are the responsibility of the citizen in the face of the spread of a virus)
