A week ago, Toulouse had indeed greatly exceeded the alert threshold of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants to reach the rate of 77. But faced with the resurgence of the epidemic, and an incidence rate now at 51, 3 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the department, the state services decided to classify the Haute-Garonne in the red zone on Thursday.

Currently, 35 clusters are identified, three times more than three weeks ago, and hospitalizations have doubled in two weeks, counting 43 patients treated by hospital services. These are all indicators that prompted the prefect to take new measures to stop the epidemic in the territory.
From this Friday, wearing a mask will be compulsory within "a radius of 30 meters from the entrances and exits of nurseries and schools throughout the department from 7 am to 10 pm". This will also be the case for any gathering of more than ten people on the public highway, from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m.
New "drive-test"
“Good compliance with these measures is a necessary condition for the favorable development of the health situation. These measures must therefore be strictly applied and will be subject to control by the police. Violators are liable to a fine of 135 euros, ”recalls the prefecture of Haute-Garonne.
In addition to the five “drive-tests” already in place on public roads, two new ones will be created on public roads over the next few months in Toulouse. In partnership with the Toulouse University Hospital, mobile screening will also see the light of day at the beginning of September.
