Is a cluster appearing in the Alpilles? The prefecture of Bouches-du-Rhône announces this Tuesday morning that a "focus of positive cases of Covid-19 has been identified among seasonal agricultural workers. These seasonal workers, employed by a Spanish company, work in the market gardening and arboriculture sector. They live in Maillane and Noves, in the Alpilles. Some of them arrived in France in January.

Of the 202 people tested, 30 positive cases appeared. The patients were placed in the fortnight. The prefecture and the ARS are now looking for contact cases and are carrying out a massive screening campaign, with the firefighters and marine firefighters. "All known accommodation places of employees employed by this company" will be controlled, announces the prefecture.
