If the hospitals of Moulins and Vichy both triggered the first level of the white plan, this Friday, October 16, this is not yet the case in Montluçon.
Covid-19: Vichy hospital triggers level 1 of the white plan
Four Covid patients hospitalized
“For the moment, we are less in tension than them”, indicated to us at the end of the afternoon, Bernadette Mallot, director of the Montluçonnais hospital center.
This does not prevent the health establishment from remaining particularly vigilant and alert. The health situation may change from day to day.
“So far we have four patients with covid-19. »Including three hospitalized in the medical department and one in intensive care. “This last person was admitted Thursday evening [le 15 octobre, NDLR] ».
This is the first time in months that we have had a Covid patient in the intensive care unit

As a reminder, on September 23, three people with Covid-19 were hospitalized in Montluçon. They were all in the medical department.
By way of comparison, currently 33 patients with Covid-19 are hospitalized in the rehabilitation and geriatrics center and in other departments of the Vichy hospital center.
Two interns tested positive: “an epiphenomenon”
Two residents of Montluçon also tested positive for Covid-19 quite recently. “We tested the entire boarding school,” said the director of the hospital center. “All of the other interns were negative. It is therefore really an epiphenomenon since these are two isolated cases. “
