In Gironde, saliva tests are arriving in schools. The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, has set a target between 50,000 and 80,000 tests for all of France from next week and 200,000 per week when everything is fine. This Thursday, the elementary school of Eysines, in the metropolis of Bordeaux, opened the ball with the screening of 150 children. Their advantage: to be much less unpleasant and “invasive than conventional tests where there is a swab“, recalls the rector of the Academy of Bordeaux, Anne Bisagni-Faure. She sets a Objective, for the Gironde, of around 5,000 tests for next week and 7,500 per week when the schools have found their rhythm.
