In view of the gradual deconfinement, the government presented a provisional map on Thursday evening classifying departments in red, orange and green according to the state of the epidemic and resuscitation services. But a few hours later, hiccups started to rise from certain departments not understanding why they were classified “red”: Haute-Corse, Lot and Cher. The regional health agencies (ARS) concerned have recognized counting errors.
In the Lot, “
which is not at this stage among the most impacted by the epidemic “, This classification”
aroused strong and legitimate misunderstandings “Noted ARS Occitanie. Regarding the dear, “
it is estimated that there have been data errors and the aim is that the correction can be made as quickly as possible “Said Christophe Lugnot, chief of staff of the ARS Center.
ARS of Corsica for his part indicated that “
the coding modalities by the Bastia hospital center lead to an overestimation of the number of emergency visits for Covid “
“Error of the year”
The president of the Lot department, Serge Rigal, expressed his dissatisfaction with this “
error of the year In a letter to the Ministry of Health. “
If there are bugs on the ranking it is because the system remains too centralized “Lamented on Franceinfo François Sauvadet, president of the Golden Coast, department classified red in particular because it receives patients from neighboring departments, he explained.
Misunderstanding for the Dordogne in “orange”
In the Dordogne, the president of the department Germinal Peiro said to himself “
stunned ” of orange classification, recalling on France Bleu Périgord that “’There are very few cases in Dordogne, that the Périgueux hospital is absolutely not saturated, and that the departmental laboratory (…) has the capacity to carry out 1,000 tests per day “
The prefecture, however, recalled that this confirmed “
the need for Périgourdines and Périgourdins (…) to maintain vigilance and civic-mindedness while respecting confinement and barrier gestures “
Map updated until May 7
About a third of the departments are classified red, with no surprise, the whole of Ile-de-France and the northeast quarter of the country, the two main areas affected. The rest of the country is divided between orange and green.
The map will be updated daily until May 7 where only two categories, green and red, will remain, which will determine the level of loosening of restrictions from the deconfinement scheduled for May 11. In the green departments, a lesser presence of the virus will make it possible to organize a wider deconfinement, with in particular the opening of parks and gardens or the resumption of the college.
