A first case of scabies was detected at the beginning of the week of August 2: “It affected other people, especially those with weak immune defenses. This parasite is not easy to detect.” Yvon Le Tilly specifies: “Itching can be caused by other causes.”
The deputy director has set up a crisis unit to analyze the situation and take the necessary health precautions.
A dermatologist, an expert in the treatment of skin pathologies and general skin diseases, was called upon.
