The situation, this Monday, July 19 in the middle of the day, confirmed the deterioration of the health situation, especially in the metropolis of Montpellier and in the area of the Etang de l’Or.
Not yet worried but “concerned”. The new prefect of Hérault, Hugues Moutouh said on Monday afternoon that the department had crossed the bar of 200 identified cases (201.4 precisely) per 100,000 inhabitants. “And the rate of positivity gallops” specified the representative of the State indicating that these statements did not take into account the tourist population but only the people domiciled in the Hérault.
Likely restrictive measures
Faced with this recrudescence of the epidemic, new restrictive measures, in particular on the systematic wearing of the mask could be taken quickly. Two areas are of particular concern to the authorities: that of the metropolis of Montpellier and the perimeter around the Etang de l’Or. However, the impact of this new wave is still marginal for hospitalizations in intensive care units.
