The news coming from Bagneux is rather reassuring. This Friday, January 15, the town hall of this commune of Hauts-de-Seine made an update after the call for massive screening of the population. A facilitator working in two schools in Bagneux (Hauts-de-Seine) had been detected during the Christmas holidays as a carrier of the British variant of Covid-19.
The town hall indicates that 2,200 inhabitants took part in the testing campaign. 11 positive cases for the coronavirus were detected including “two possible cases of English variants not confirmed to date” specify the authorities.
It is now necessary to carry out new checks, to do a sequencing of the genome of the virus. The people concerned are isolated and their contact cases have been identified.
The Regional Health Agency also specifies that now all the tests carried out in Ile-de-France are the subject of additional tests to detect the British variant.
This cluster had been qualified as being “at risk” by the Directorate General of Health.
