This means that for the moment, this variant is not spreading in the city, even if investigations are still ongoing. Still, if the situation were to deteriorate, some, like the first deputy Michèle Rubirola, are in favor of a reconfinement. It must be said that this new highly contagious form of the virus is extremely worrying.
