As our colleagues from L’Union report, a health alert was launched in Bordeaux, after SOS Doctors took care of a suspect case.
It was through a Facebook post that the NGO announced that it had treated a patient in Bordeaux potentially infected with the 2019 coronavirus-nCov, a disease that is currently affecting China. The man presented with symptoms of fever and cough, says SOS Doctors. The latter would return from a trip to China, after a stopover by the Netherlands. According to him, he was in contact with people from the city of Wuhan, home of the virus.
“No proven case in France”
“The doctor instantly switches to Absolute Emergency mode. He provides the patient with a mask and begins to wear one. He signals to the other doctors at the Bordeaux consultation center that he is putting the consultation room in absolute isolation, “explains SOS Doctors. The patient, extracted by the SMUR to the Bordeaux University Hospital is present for observation.
The Region Hospitalization Agency, joined by France Blue, explains that she cannot deny or confirm these facts. Agnès Buzyn said that there were currently “no proven cases in France”.
