Covid-19: in Chartres, several hundred people have benefited from rapid and free tests

Like this young woman, who is feeling symptoms, and whose friends are sick, several hundred people came to be tested yesterday at the Maison pour tous des Petits-Clos. Some have a prescription, want to go on vacation, think they are sick, or are just curious about whether they have Covid-19 but asymptomatic.

Many return from vacations or private events and have a bit of a cold.

“Many come back from vacations or private events and have a bit of a cold,” explains a nurse who performs the test. This screening afternoon is the third organized in Chartres.

Coronavirus: new screenings organized in Eure-et-Loir

Results within 72 hours

And here, to take the test, no need to make an appointment: all you need to do is bring a mask, your vital card and your identity card. It is the nasal test that is proposed. The sample only lasts a few minutes, and the results, analyzed at the CHRO of Orleans, will fall within 72 hours. Loetitian Ronsin, coordinator of the local health contract at Chartres Métropole, was tasked by the Regional Health Agency with organizing the samples. “A doctor and nurses from Sdis 28 perform the tests,” she explains. “MPT professionals were willing to regulate the flow of people. “

Covid-19: “The situation is not alarming for the moment in Eure-et-Loir, but it is progressing quickly”, according to the prefect

Prescription in hand, Stéphane has had a sore throat for a few days. Her doctor asked her to get tested. “As there are sometimes a little delays in the laboratories, I preferred not to wait and come today. “

A next screening campaign will be organized in a fortnight, in the agglomeration. The location remains to be confirmed.
