  • Did a case of coronavirus at the University of Picardy, in Amiens, give rise to the noticed evacuation of the student concerned?
  • This is what the legend says of a very viral video showing the medical care of a young woman by two people in white coveralls.
  • The University of Picardy Jules Verne tells us however that this is an evacuation unrelated to the coronavirus, despite the impressive paraphernalia of the medical team.

Lying on a stretcher, a protective mask on the face, a young woman is taken care of by two people in white coveralls, who evacuate her from the establishment where the scene is filmed (at a certain distance).

“When your son sends you a video of his college (Amiens) as a hello… I love it…. let's stay positive # COVID19 #coronavirus ", says the author of a tweet in legend of this sequence viewed more than 137,000 times since its publication on Tuesday March 10, in the midst of a coronavirus epidemic, which has, to date, 33 deaths in France on more than 1,700 cases.
