Going home "without having the ball in your stomach"
A real decontamination circuit has been set up in the changing rooms and showers. In the morning, users put on the clothes they will wear during their working day and then come back at the end of the day for the disinfection process. "After a day of work having potentially been in contact with Covid people, you take off your shoes to put them in a trash bag at the entrance and you put your clothes in another trash bag", explains Anne-Lise Dufour, mayor of Denain, at the microphone of Europe 1. "We put bactericidal shower gel available," she says. "Then you can go into the clean area and get dressed in the morning clothes and go home without having the ball in your stomach."

"Until then, I was undressing in my garage"
The ball in the stomach, linked to the fear of contaminating the own members of his household, this was the daily life of Sébastien Capdeville. "Until then, I undressed in my garage, I ran quickly to the shower avoiding any contact with my family, disinfected the shower and myself brought my washing equipment in the machine safely," says he. Gone are the days for the liberal nurse who now uses the airlock for decontamination of the municipal swimming pool. "It reassures me and my loved ones."
