The incidence rate is 690 and the positivity rate is 8.6%. The territory of the community of communes has the highest detection rate in the department.
The Covid-19 vaccination center, installed in the premises of the Émile-Borel hospital center, received 144 people this Saturday, April 17, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a short 20-minute break.
Today, according to the Regional Health Agency (ARS) cited by Mayor Sébastien David, “the circulation of the virus in Saint-Affrique remains relatively high with an incidence rate over one week of 690”. It corresponds to the number of positive patients for Covid-19 reported to a population of 100,000 inhabitants. This rate was 416.6 at the end of March.
“The positivity rate is 8.6%, continues the mayor. This represents 56 positive people out of 648 tested from April 6 to 12. The vaccination center records 1,080 appointments per week, which is a high number for the population of the basin. Currently, these appointments are all reserved. This large endowment is made possible thanks to an exclusive supply of Moderna vaccine. It is the only center in the department to use it today. But on the other hand, the national delivery program is less regular. “
The vaccination center is awaiting confirmation from the ARS, for April 20 or 22, of the dates and volumes of Moderna vaccine supply for the month of May. These new supplies will allow the opening of new niches over the same period for the benefit of all the public eligible for vaccination.
Regarding the Doctolib platform, Sébastien David declares: “Yes, I know, the platform is not perfect and can generate dissatisfaction when it is not accessible. But be sure that with the services, we are in almost daily contact with the ARS to unlock these situations and allow appointments to be made. “
Over the period from April 6 to 12, “the perimeter of the community of communes has the highest screening rate in the department with 6,928 screenings per 100,000 inhabitants, and a positivity rate of 8.3%, which is not the highest in the department”, concluded the mayor.
