  • A Covd-19 consultation center under tents will be installed in Nice.
  • Mandatory appointments will only be granted in case of symptoms and after a telephone interview, says the town hall.

Medical tents, plexiglass treatment cabins, etc. The town hall of Nice plans to open, on Wednesday, a "consultation center" for patients potentially contaminated with the new coronavirus, Christian Estrosi announced on Tuesday. This “Korean” device, according to the mayor of Nice, is being assembled on the lawn of the Vauban stadium, to the east of the city. Liberal doctors and nurses will be on site.

"It will be unique in the region," explains the elected official. This outdoor system makes it possible to widen the possibilities of consultations in conditions of security adapted to the epidemic. »Appointments - compulsory - will only be granted in case of symptoms and after a telephone interview (at 06.17.10.21.09), says the town hall.

A "secure treatment path"

In concrete terms, five tents will be erected in the stadium "with a secure treatment route", explains the director general of services for the city of Nice. "Plexiglas consultation booths will be installed to avoid any risk of contamination inside the center and with caregivers," says Lauriano Azinheirinha.

Groups formed by three doctors and three liberal nurses will take turns every three hours between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. And, if they deem it necessary, practitioners can prescribe a Covid-19 screening test to be done in the drive-tests installed by city laboratories or at the Saint-Georges clinic.

Containment rules not fully respected

Christian Estrosi, who announced the opening of a consultation center during a press conference by videoconference on Tuesday, also regretted that "too many people still break the rules of confinement". "On average, each day the national police and the municipal police draw up around 500 reports," he said.
