The incidence rate, that is to say the rate of positivity to Covid 19 per 100,000 inhabitants tested, increased in one week from 150.9 to 184.9 (from March 12 to March 19)
Three departments are particularly affected; Sarthe, Maine et Loire and Mayenne.
“The situation is worrying“details Jean-Jacques Coiplet”because the virus travels fast. too fast.”
“The positivity rate is also increasing, and this is most certainly due to the presence of the variants. Since now 8 out of 10 viruses are British, South African or Brazilian variants“.

Although still below the national average of the contamination rate, vigilance must remain in place (266.22 national index rate against 184.9 for the regional rate, Editor’s note)

Places that can accommodate more people.
The director of the Regional Health Agency promises in particular more doses of vaccines:
“Today we have nearly 45 centers in the region and we will continue to open more“, announces Jean-Jacques Coiplet.
“In addition to the AstraZeneca there are the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, we will have many more doses of vaccine, especially in April“.
We are currently working to extend the schedules of the existing centers and to open giga-centers in the largest cities in the region.
“In Nantes one of the largest centers makes 2,800 injections per week“specifies Jean-Jacques Coiplet,”we are preparing to offer 10,000 injections per week“.
