We thought we’d get rid of it at least for the summer period. But wearing a mask outdoors is once again compulsory in 24 departments of France, on all or part of their territory. In Berry, the Covid-19 has been circulating more actively in recent days, in particular the Delta variant. The incidence rate is increasing in the Cher and the Indre.
Should we expect another turn of the sanitary screw? Asked by France Bleu Berry, the prefect of Indre did not evade the question. “The priority of priorities is to continue to vaccinate as much as possible. We do not effectively exclude taking more restrictive measures where it is justified”, says Stéphane Bredin. He says work in consultation with colleagues from the Center-Val de Loire region. Out of six departments, only Loir-et-Cher is still below the alert threshold of 50 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
For the prefect of Indre, it is essential to find a balance in the event of decision-making. “A good balance between the least pressure on people who have a complete vaccination schedule and not to refrain from more restrictive measures in the days to come. Nothing is excluded”, emphasizes Stéphane Bredin. If new measures were to be announced, they would probably not be for the entire department of Indre.. “I am not sure that we have to take general measures to restore the wearing of masks outdoors, for example. In the spring, we had done it in certain urban areas where the virus is actively circulating. how we will look at things if we have to do it “, concludes the prefect of Indre.
