NEW CHINA / SIPA
It was feared, it finally happened.
The incidence rate of Covid-19 in the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg crossed the alert threshold determined by the health authorities at the end of August, set at 50 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants over seven days.
This indicates an area of high circulation of the virus.
What reminds us of the importance of "remaining vigilant and respecting barrier gestures", recalls the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of the Grand Est.
Crossed for a week
The red alert threshold was therefore crossed in the week of August 24 to 30, with 55.8 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants (38 in the Bas-Rhin and 20.3 in the Haut-Rhin), indicates the ARS .
The metropolis of Mulhouse displays a rate of 28.6 on the meter.
Equally worrying situation in the metropolitan areas of Reims and Metz, which are also approaching this alert threshold, with a rate of 45.7 and 44.6 respectively.
