The threat weighed on the Dijon metropolis from the previous point of the Minister of Health, it is confirmed this Wednesday, September 22. Dijon is now in the alert zone with new measures. Gatherings, for example, are limited to less than 30 people. Olivier Véran announces this Wednesday on the occasion of a new weekly update. The presentation of the new card was announced for 7 p.m. but started more than 20 minutes late, which shows that the subject is obviously very sensitive.
The epidemic is progressing in France
The incidence rate, which was 83 cases per 100,000 inhabitants last week, is now 95 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, says the Minister of Health. “And we will exceed 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the next few hours or days”, considers Olivier Véran.
“If we do not take action quickly, we risk reaching critical thresholds in some areas“, warns the Minister of Health. More than 950 people are in intensive care and there are 6,000 hospitalizations this week in France. The share has even doubled in Paris. 69 departments are in red.
In Burgundy, Dijon and the Côte-d’Or remain at the alert level
Unlike other areas where gatherings will be even more limited, in our department, the gauge remains set at 30 people. The party rooms will be responsible for ensuring that the instructions are respected. The epidemic is experiencing a clear recovery for several weeks in France and elsewhere in Europe, attention is focused in particular on large cities, some of which will be placed in “red”, “super-red” or “scarlet”, depending on the intensity of Covid-19 traffic. In the metropolises concerned, the prefects will be responsible for announcing local measures quickly, after consultation with the mayors.
