A new cluster in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes)? In the service residence for seniors Les Palatines, where tests for Covid-19 had been offered, eleven cases were confirmed on Saturday, a spokesperson for the Korian group said on Tuesday.
“These tests were not compulsory. Out of 50 residents in the residence, twenty have agreed to submit to it and 11 are very positive, said the same source. We have therefore re-offered the tests to the other residents and new ones are underway. "
Common activities stopped
Unlike an Ehpad, service residences do not offer follow-up care and residents each have their own apartment independently. "The joint activities were immediately stopped and we recommended that the residents confine themselves again," said the spokesperson.
Our file on the Covid-19
All of the employees were also screened and no test came back positive, according to the Korian group, which operates this residence located near the port of Nice.
