- Philippe de Mester, the director of the Paca Regional Health Agency announced that Covid-19 patients will be able to be sheltered from the start of confinement.
- Sheltering the sick is an issue for lower-income neighborhoods where families often live in groups in cramped apartments.
People sick with coronavirus and who cannot effectively confine themselves to their accommodation will be "sheltered" and "sheltered" as soon as the deconfinement, assured AFP the director of the Regional Health Agency Paca, Philippe De Mester. On Monday, doctors participating in a special screening system in the working-class districts of Marseille reminded the authorities of "the extreme need to find accommodation" for sick people living in overcrowded apartments.
"For the deconfinement everything is ready for shelter: we have identified two places in Martigues and Marseille and we are trying to open others," explained Philippe De Mester. The deconfinement plan presented by the Prime Minister provides for the isolation of the patient, when he wishes, "in a place made available to him, in particular in requisitioned hotels".
Reluctance to stay away from families
"From the start, we had a look at these neighborhoods because we know that there are living conditions that can be favorable to the development of the epidemic," said Philippe De Mester, adding that the ARS had supported the screening operations in these neighborhoods.
While the doctors deplored not having "been able to shelter anyone" since April 20, Philippe De Mester assured: "If we had been asked for accommodation, we would have had possibilities but that didn ' was not the case ”, evoking the cases of a person who“ changed his mind ”and a minor, whom the ARS could not take care of.
Doctors at the Hôpital Nord, Doctors Without Borders and the Malpassé health center (13th arrondissement) reported that patients were “reluctant” to stay away from their families during their quarantine. According to Aloys Vimard, NordCovid coordinator at MSF, "with deconfinement the number of positive people will increase, and eviction is the only solution to break the chains of transmission".
