During these long weeks of mobilization against the coronavirus, they were able to count on all forms of encouragement. Today, while the epidemic is still raging but slowing down, some caregivers have in turn decided to thank the population, for all the marks of support sent.

For the past few days, a clip shot by hospital staff from the intensive care unit of the Nantes University Hospital has been online. "To all of you, we wanted to say THANK YOU, by dedicating this video to you," they write.

Creams, meals, flowers, tablets…

For more than three minutes, you can discover the atmosphere of the service during this health crisis, visibly softened by all the little attentions sent by the inhabitants. “The Covid-19 crisis generated a particularly large and intense workload within our resuscitation department, called MIR (Intensive Resuscitation Medicine) at the Nantes University Hospital. For several weeks, we could count on the support and generosity of Nantes residents, offering us creams, overcoats, meals, delicacies, bouquets of flowers, fruit trays, digital tablets… ”, confirms the text posted under the video.

In Loire-Atlantique, on Saturday evening, 16 patients were still in intensive care (54 across the region). Since the start of the epidemic, 382 people have died from coronavirus in hospitals in Pays-de-la-Loire.
