The results of the massive screening campaign launched in Bouches-du-Rhône, after the discovery of a Covid-19 outbreak in late May among seasonal agricultural workers, attest to the extent of the contamination. Out of 4,492 tests carried out, 251 were found to be positive, says the prefecture.
When the report was published on Tuesday evening, 34 people had finished the fortnight and were cured. Other people who test positive must respect and maintain isolation for fourteen days.
63 volunteers accommodated in accommodation
In a letter addressed to farmers, the prefects of the region and the department asked them "to ensure the isolation of positive persons placed under their responsibility and the application of health regulations at the workplace in order to prevent the circulation of virus. "
The State services recall that a support system to isolate those tested positive who so wished was put in place. Thus, over the past weekend, 63 volunteers have been accommodated in accommodation in Miramas and Salon-de-Provence.
