The second confinement is not yet over and the question already arises: How to avoid a third confinement after the end of the year holidays? France assos santé, which brings together eighty-five associations of patients, consumers, retirees, disabled people, etc. (France handicap, rural families, the League against cancer, What to choose, etc.), a call to the government: People who test positive and contact cases must be isolated as soon as possible. But this isolation must not be experienced as a sanction either. »
, warns Gérard Raymond, the president of France assos santé.
Towards compulsory isolation?
However, this subject of isolation of patients raises several questions. Should it be made compulsory? It’s a track that’s on the table
, agreed, a few days ago, the government spokesperson, Gabriel Attal. Then, where to isolate these people? At their home, at the hotel? During the first confinement, some hotels had taken in Covid patients. But this device had been little used
, recognizes Jean-Virgile Crance, president of the National Group of Hotel Chains. A few days ago, the Union des Métiers de l’Hôtellerie signed a new agreement with the Ministries of Health and Housing to once again welcome nursing staff, frail people and people who tested positive. We are able to accommodate many sick people. A national strategy must now be put in place
, indicates Jean-Virgile Crance.
Finally, how can we help people who are isolated at home or in a hotel? Let us mobilize the forces of this country, associations in particular. For each person isolated, caregivers must be able to go and assess their needs
, insists Gérard Raymond. In Île-de-France, as part of the Covisan project, health teams thus helped isolated people throughout the first confinement.
