The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has sent the Prime Minister's office a proposal for a deconfinement plan for the city of Paris. In particular, it advocates a massive campaign of screening tests, the use of immunity certificates and the isolation of new cases.

Massive screening, quarantine for people contaminated by covid-19 and certificate of immunity for those healed: the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, sent Matignon a plan to help the capital break out of containment by avoiding an epidemic recovery. The Prime Minister's services did not wish to comment on this plan dated April 6, of which AFP was able to consult a copy.

Succeeding in the future deconfinement "requires better management of containment," says Anne Hidalgo in particular, pointing to failures since the introduction of the system on March 17. "In the absence of sufficient protective equipment, the contaminations continued in the economic structures which remained active," she said, and "many positive people returned home, unknowingly contaminating those around them, which has leads to maintaining a high level of virus in the population, including during confinement. "

"Massive screening"

Anne Hidalgo makes ten proposals for deconfinement, starting with the creation of a "precise map of the spread of the epidemic" in Paris, accompanied by serological tests as soon as they are "available and reliable". The council also recommends the implementation of "massive screening" by defining priority audiences.

These screenings already practiced in nursing homes will continue in other collective establishments depending on the city and with at-risk audiences (homeless, drug addicts ...), says the mayor. It also proposes to "organize them for agents of the Parisian public service, their families" and "young Parisians, from crèche to high school".

Immunity certificates

For those recovered from covid-19, "presumed immunized against the disease and non-contagious after 21 days", Anne Hidalgo is considering a certificate of immunity issued by a doctor allowing "to avoid certain obligations of confinement and barrier measures ".

Among the other proposals is the quarantine of infected people in suitable places. For this, the city will facilitate the mobilization of dedicated sites, hotels, for those who cannot be "confined to their homes in a satisfactory manner to protect those around them".
