France, the government reduces the quarantine from 14 to 7 days. Marseille: almost complete resuscitations

Who will be positive in COVID-19 will have to remain in solitary confinement only 7 days, no more 14. The French scientific council has given the green light to the reduction of quarantine, welcomed by entrepreneurs from beyond the Alps. In the country, since the end of July, infections have begun to increase again and two days ago the peak of more than 8,500 in one day was registered. “It would be a little breath of fresh air for companies in organizational terms. It would be welcome ”, said the president of Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises (Cpme), Francois Asselin, Interviewed by Franceinfo Tv following the announcements made this morning by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, who specified that the decision will be formally adopted at the “Defense Council on Friday.” Reducing the quarantine, explained the minister, is motivated by the fact that “we are most contagious in the first 5 days after the appearance of symptoms or that follow the positivity of a buffer. Later – he continued – the contagion it drops very sharply, and after a week it remains but very weak. ” The shortening of the quarantine will favor “a better adherence” to the norm – according to the minister – since today “we register that the majority of the French do not respect the quarantine“. the Defense Council – formed by a small group of ministers – is summoned by the president Emmanuel macron on the Elysee more and more frequently since the beginning of the crisis Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, with the increase in hospitalized for COVID-19, the Marseille region, Bouches-du-Rhone, is back under stress as in the first wave of the virus last spring after 70 patients in more serious conditions in need of intensive care. “For a week – explains a BFM-TV a doctor in the intensive care unit of the Marseille hospital north – there is actually a situation of voltage at the level of resuscitation places, with quite serious patients who need oxygen and support, therefore a bed in that room ”.

At the hospital north, in the 10 intensive care beds available for patients with CoronavirusYesterday, 7 were busy, as much as to convince the authorities to resume at the regional level the management plans for hospitalizations and transfer of patients where there is availability of places as last spring. The total capacity in the region of Marseilles, he Bouches-du-Rhone, there are 322 beds in intensive care, but unlike last spring, many are occupied by patients with other pathologies, who need intensive care, such as victims of accidents or patients in progress postoperative. Across the entire region, only 70, now almost fully occupied, are left available for Covid patients.
