A comeback. The Covid-19 epidemic is regaining ground in Tarn-et-Garonne, as in the rest of Occitania. For the period from March 20 to 26, the incidence rate stands at 1,306 cases of coronavirus per hundred thousand inhabitants. “Faced with this situation, it is necessary to maintain barrier gestures on a daily basis in order to fight against the spread of the virus”, warn the prefecture of the department in a press release.

It should be recalled that most of the health restrictions were lifted on March 14. This is particularly the case for wearing a mask, which is now only compulsory in public transport and health establishments. Nevertheless, wearing a mask is recommended for the elderly or immunocompromised.

This is also the case of the vaccination pass, which has been the subject of numerous disputes. Since March 14, the vaccination pass is suspended until further notice in places where it was required, such as places of leisure and culture, commercial catering activities, fairs, etc. On the other hand, the health pass remains in force in healthcare establishments.

Vaccination against Covid-19 in Tarn-et-Garonne

It is still possible to get vaccinated from city health professionals. : pharmacists, doctors, nurses, dentists, midwives, medical biology laboratories and occupational health services”, recalls the prefecture.

Furthermore, the Test-Alert-Protect triptych strategy continues to apply. You must be tested as a priority in the event of signs of the disease or identify yourself as a contact person. Then communicate the list of all recent contacts to your doctor and to health insurance if you obtain a positive test, so that those around you can be quickly alerted in order to curb the spread of the virus. Finally, you should protect others by respecting the rules of isolation and quarantine, depending on your situation. Contact persons are no longer required to isolate themselves, but it is strongly recommended, in these situations, to wear a mask and apply all barrier gestures.
