The obligation to show a negative antigenic test, when one is not yet vaccinated, has its variants. At Strasbourg SNCF station, a screening center has been set up, quite soberly, on the main departures platform.
A discreet door in the imposing sandstone building opens onto a place intended for departing travelers, “on condition of having a Vitale card”, warns an intelligence officer stationed at the edge of the track. A special bracelet allows access to the train thanks to a rapid test carried out by a service provider, sometimes just a few minutes before the departure whistle.
Completely deserted at times, apart from the TGV slots in particular, this center was thought of as “a facility” for travelers, a way of not being unexpectedly stranded with a ticket in your pocket. But its principle does not allow foreigners to benefit from the service: a certain number of connections have already been missed as a result. In any case, this service may be called upon to cease when the carrier has decided to do so: it will then be necessary to make arrangements before heading to the station.
“Let me go home!” “
On a completely different scale, the University Hospitals of Strasbourg set up yesterday afternoon a screening center dedicated to having a large attendance: you no longer enter the hospital without a health pass, so you have to skip the case. appropriate by the swab.
From the first minutes of activity, we hurried to the door of the pavilion dedicated to screening. We found there, wise or annoyed, patients and visitors turned away from the nearby NHC (New Civil Hospital), where leniency is no longer in order and nervousness on the other hand more and more frequent. “I’ve had an appointment for three months, let me go home, damn it,” railed an old man in a leather jacket.

Users will have to get used to it, the filtering instruction having become more stringent.
In the screening queue, HUS hospital workers too. Some have only received one dose of the vaccine, we still have to wait for the pass. Others procrastinate, falsely philosophical: “We’ll see by September 15,” said a technician in work clothes. Maybe I will have caught the Covid by then, if I haven’t already had it. No need for a vaccine then… ”
The purpose of the screening is not the same as at the SNCF, everyone is taken here, provided they can justify an identity. A QR code is also issued, but a health executive does not fear the influx of opportunistic customers: “It is either employees or patients of the hospital who will come to be screened in the hospices. civilians. “
A similar structure will start on Tuesday in the large Hautepierre hospital, where passage is very important. As for the last employees refractory to vaccination, they understood that they would have to regularly show a white paw.
The leaders go around the services to call the recalcitrant to order. So much so that the vaccination center on the campus of the civilian hospital sees the arrival of agents finally resolved to be vaccinated, in particular when they return from their holidays.
A laboratory technician admits to being wary of the vaccine, but accepted the weary injection of war: “I was asked every day where I was”. By his side, the nurse in charge of handling the syringe recognizes hearing this type of comment often, as the deadline approaches. She no longer takes offense. What bothers her more are the openly aggressive remarks about her: “We’re colleagues, all the same. “
