More than ever, all together, do not let up on our efforts and effectively prevent its dissemination! Our individual and collective behaviors directly condition the speed of the epidemic and its evolution; they constitute a barrier against viral spread. It is by adopting together all the gestures of prevention and common sense that hinder the spread of the virus, that we will successfully fight the epidemic that affects our country.
Faced with the risk of contamination, the most fragile people must exercise increased vigilance. Because they risk developing a severe form of the disease, people over 65 or suffering from a chronic pathology (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, respiratory pathology, active cancer under treatment, hemopathy, severe renal failure, etc.) ), with immunosuppression or pregnant women, during the third trimester of pregnancy, must protect themselves everywhere and at all times and avoid unnecessary travel and contact.
None of the symptoms of fever, cough, diarrhea, headache, loss of taste or smell, unusual aches and frostbite in the fingers should not be overlooked. Even if they seem mild, see a doctor immediately for a PCR virology test and wear a mask at all times.
To quickly identify the direct debit center closest to you, go to Santé.fr. A map shows all the sampling locations offered in the territory, as well as the laboratory's timetables and contact details. The test must be performed within 24 hours of prescription and the result returned within 24 hours. While waiting for the result, stay confined and avoid contact, so as not to contaminate those around you.
