The mayor of Mougins can no longer see the situation in his city deteriorate and wants to make it known in the hope that the government reacts. The number of deaths in an Ehpad in this city near Cannes has indeed increased further and reached 29 deaths related to the coronavirus. Doctor Richard Galy, general practitioner and mayor of the city since 2001, therefore issued on Friday an "ultimatum" so that residents and staff are all detected without delay.

"Day by day, the number of people affected has increased as well as the number of deaths, now we are at 29. It is something apocalyptic, it is a massacre," lambasted the mayor. "Following today's crisis meeting from which no concrete decision emerged, I can no longer trust either Korian (owner of this establishment for dependent elderly people) or ARS (Regional Agency for health) in the management of this tragic situation where every minute counts, "he added in a press release entitled" mayor's thunderbolt ".
"It has been almost two weeks since I asked to test everyone (...) It is April 3 and today it seems that half of the staff has been tested but the residents still haven't", continued Richard Galy adding: " It is an ultimatum: by Monday morning, all the staff and all the residents must be tested, and work done to seal the healthy block from the sick block. ” “If this is not possible, I will request the requisition of the hotel to save people who are currently in good health because in my opinion, they have no chance of getting out of it by staying in the 'establishment is dramatic,' he protested.
A spokesperson for the establishment confirmed "having communicated 29 deaths to the ARS" and "started screening caregivers this Friday before screening residents scheduled for Monday". "The establishment must be organized in two separate and watertight sectors," he said.
A problem of standards
During a new crisis meeting on Friday, Doctor Galy has already proposed that non-sick residents be relocated to a hotel requisitioned under the supervision of a small medical team, but he was refused, because of standards invoked during the discussion associating the ARS, the sub-prefecture of Grasse and the Korian group. "What standards are we talking about when it comes to saving lives?" The only absolute standard is to rescue residents as quickly as possible, ”he wrote in his statement.
Mayor LR also demanded that "the Korian establishment ensure the communication it owes to families left to their own devices and who interrogate me every day because there is no news from their relatives". Nothing prevents families from picking up their relatives or relatives, subject to certain health precautions, said the mayor of Mougins.
