Wednesday evening, the Regional Health Agency of Occitania (ARS) announced the first cases of coronavirus in Midi-Pyrenees, a couple from Aveyron having stayed in Egypt. It is also in this country that the first inhabitant of Haute-Garonne recently went, whose analyzes are positive at Covid-19.

This 70-year-old patient, living near Muret, was taken care of this Thursday evening by specialized teams from the infectious and tropical diseases department of the Toulouse University Hospital. For now, "his clinical condition shows no sign of seriousness," said the ARS Thursday late evening.

His teams, in conjunction with the Regional Public Health Unit in France, have launched the necessary investigations to identify the people who may have been in contact with him.

Two new cases in Aveyron

In Aveyron, two new cases in the family environment of the couple identified yesterday were recorded on Thursday. A 39-year-old woman and a 14-year-old adolescent, who had had prolonged relations with the two inhabitants of Millau hospitalized at the Rodez hospital center, tested positive.

Taken care of, their state of health does not inspire concern. There too, an investigation is underway to find out who they have been in contact with in recent days, in particular the adult who occupies functions within the Medico-Psychological Center of Millau.
