The indicators have been red in the metropolis of Dijon for several weeks now. The active circulation of the virus in Dijon and its surroundings, but also throughout the Côte-d’Or, is no longer to be demonstrated: contamination and hospitalizations are accelerating daily. In the metropolis of Dijon, the situation raises fears of a passage in the maximum alert zone, a level triggering the establishment of a curfew.
It is also this Thursday, at 5 p.m., that Prime Minister Jean Castex must present the list of new departments which will switch to the maximum alert zone. Several cities are particularly monitored such as Strasbourg, Tours or Orléans. The city of the dukes also, because it now ticks, with its metropolis, the criteria of a change.
The incidence rate greatly exceeded
As we indicated to you on Wednesday evening, the incidence rate in the metropolis has largely crossed the threshold of 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (260.3 to date) all ages combined, and of 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for people over 65 years of age (157.4). Thresholds synonymous with passing into the maximum alert zone.
Resuscitation: the 30% mark almost reached
This is the last criterion which makes it possible to place a metropolis in a maximum alert zone: an intensive care bed occupancy rate greater than 30%. On October 20, it was 28.8% in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.

Curfew: how does it work?
The curfew introduced in Ile-de-France and in the metropolitan areas of Aix-Marseille, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Rouen, Saint-Étienne and Toulouse, last week, is to last six weeks. It is forbidden to move between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., except in exceptional cases and on supporting documents. Faced with the acceleration of the epidemic, the nighttime confinement schedule could be extended and start at 7 p.m. On Wednesday, during a meeting with the party leaders, Jean Castex would not have answered on this subject, reported the national secretary of Europe Ecology Les Verts Julien Bayou.
Offenders are liable to a fine of € 135 (increased to € 375 in the event of non-payment or non-dispute within the time limit indicated on the notice of violation), of € 200 if a repeat offense within 15 days (increased at 450 €), and a fine of 3750 € punishable by six months imprisonment if three offenses in 30 days.
