The map of France – until now studded with “red” areas – is enriched with new threatening colors: dark red for “maximum alert” (this is the case of Marseille-Aix in Provence, where bars and restaurants will be closed from Monday) and the “scarlet” (health emergency) (HALF OF THE COUNTRY IS RED ZONE – THE GLOBAL CASE MAP).

In recent days, the positive test rate has risen above 6% for the first time, to stand at 6.1%. The situation in Paris and Ile-de-France. is seriously. “If we do not act immediately,” Véran explained, the models with projections of what is happening in the coming weeks are catastrophic: “of the approximately 2,000 patients hospitalized for Covid-19, – 305 are in resuscitation, that is, the 27% of the total resuscitation capacity of the entire region, up from 18% a week ago. ”Without drastic and urgent action, 40% of the region’s resuscitation capacity will be used on October 10, October 25 60% and on November 11 85%. ”With the aggravation that this time, with the most widespread in France, the transfer of seriously ill patients to hospitals in other regions becomes impossible, as was done in March and April in the midst of an epidemic storm.

Vaccine against the coronavirus, share it or not: the positions of the countries
Starting Monday, all bars and restaurants will see a total closure in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence in southern France. The Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, defined them as the areas “in maximum alert” in the French panorama together with Guadeloupe. If in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, with the common region that concerns them, the bars and restaurants will close completely again for 15 days, another 8 urban agglomerations (Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Saint-Etienne, Rennes, Rouen, Grenoble, Montpellier) reach the 3 who are already in a situation of “reinforced alert” (Bordeaux, Lyon and Nice). Consequence: limit of 10 people for meetings of people in public places (beaches, gardens, squares, etc.), prohibition of parties or student associations, public limit for public events that drops from 5,000 to 1,000. Bars and restaurants will close no later than 22:00, indoor sports and gyms are again prohibited.
The map with the colors of the emergency
Véran tried to chase away the ghost of the confinement: “We are not thinking of new general closures,” he said, as the new map with the new colors stood out behind him. The mapping places the different cities in the categories “red”, “super red” or “scarlet”, which creates new health restrictions. If any area of the country turns from the dreaded “scarlet” (health emergency), a new general confinement would be the only option.
