Two people were tested positively for Covid-19 this Friday, July 24, 2020, indicates the prefecture of Gers in a press release.
This brings to 282 the number of positive cases in the Gers since the start of the health crisis. This is a man residing in the commune of Samatan and a woman, a member of the same family as the case declared in the commune of Pujaudran on Tuesday, July 21. These people remain in isolation at home. Their state of health is not of concern.
In collaboration with the Regional Health Agency and the Regional Public Health Unit for France, the Health Insurance teams are carrying out the necessary investigations to identify people in prolonged and close contact so that they can undergo screening tests.

A maximum of 200 tests can be performed per day.
