Illustration in an amphitheater. - Patrice Magnien / 20 Minutes

The bad joke was short lived. But credible enough to create a moment of panic within Jean-Monnet University in Saint-Etienne (Loire). This Tuesday afternoon, two young people dressed in white coats and masks entered an amphitheater on the campus of the Wireframe and ordered first year law students to evacuate, brandishing the threat of contamination. possible from campus to coronavirus.

A threat taken seriously by the students who carried out, people contaminated by the virus in Haute-Savoie being hospitalized since last weekend in Saint-Etienne.

The two jokers were quick to be spotted and intercepted by college security agents, reports Le Progrès. The university, which regretted with our colleagues a "bad hoax", was not able to confirm this Tuesday if the two boys are part of the college students. An internal investigation should make it possible to clarify this quickly.
