The Laval hospital center, the benchmark establishment in the fight against the coronavirus in the department, is now equipped with a high-performance machine that analyzes all PCR tests performed in Mayenne, those of the hospitals of Mayenne and Château-Gontier in particular, those of drive or nursing homes or even other medico-social establishments if a source of contamination is detected.
This device allows you to gain autonomy for virus screening and its variants. Also saves time. Most of the tests, until now, were sent to the departmental laboratory for analysis. In one year, more than 60,000 nasopharyngeal samples were taken in Mayenne.
This machine represents an investment of 200,000 euros. It operates 6 days a week, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the assistance of several technicians and biologists.
