On Monday August 17, the results were negative for the 80 agents checked. The two positive individuals were placed in fortnight, as well as all “Risky contact cases”. Service has resumed normally.
The notion of “risky contact case”
The notion of “risky contact case” has been precisely defined by Santé Publique France. “Anyone who shared the same place of life as the confirmed or probable case; Having had a contact direct with a case, face to face, within a meter, whatever the duration (eg conversation, meal, flirtation, hugs, hugs). On the other hand, people crossed in the public space in a fleeting manner are not considered as risk contacts; Having provided or received acts of hygiene or care ; Having shared a confined space (office or meeting room, personal vehicle, etc.) for at least 15 minutes with a case or having remained face to face with a case during several episodes of coughing or sneezing; Being student or teacherfrom the same school class (kindergarten, primary, secondary, tutorial group at the university). “
All “risky contact cases” are systematically placed in isolation for 14 days. If their employment cannot be carried out by teleworking, they benefit from a work stoppage, assimilated to sick leave. This can be done either by the attending physician or by health insurance.
