Five more dead in just two days. Among the residents of Ehpad La Riviera de Mougins, near Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), the assessment now stands at 24 people positive for coronavirus deceased since mid-March, said the mayor of the town on Thursday .
"They did the right thing, but the problem is that the virus got into it and ravaged everyone in physical difficulty with comorbidities. Today, we can no longer brake the system, "said Richard Galy (LR), deploring" a terrible ordeal "for staff and families in this establishment of the Korian group, which welcomes 110 residents.
Separate the sick and the non-sick
A first crisis meeting with the prefecture and the regional health agency was held on Tuesday. “We started testing the staff, the residents. Things are falling into place in a radical way. We need to find a place to receive residents who test negative. We have to separate them from sick people, ”added the elected official, himself a doctor.
“There are three solutions: either, as they propose, to reserve two levels for sick people and two levels for non-sick people; or shift them to another Ehpad, but people should not go carry the virus elsewhere, it would be as serious and people should be re-tested and monitored. The third solution would be to find another physical place to receive these people, "he said.
