The surrealist images of April are back: entire trains chartered to transport patients, medical planes crossing France to try to relieve overwhelmed hospitals ... Transfers of Covid-19 patients are nevertheless a reality.

Several operations have already been carried out in Hauts-de-France.

And this Monday, eight patients with Covid-19 were transferred to New Aquitaine from Saint-Etienne and Lyon (Rhône).

Relatively spared by the second wave, Brittany will also contribute to the national effort.

According to

Ouest-France

and

Le Télégramme

, between four and six patients hospitalized in PACA should be treated in Brest on Tuesday.

Local dailies mention the reception of these patients at the CHU de la Cavale Blanche and at the Army Training Hospital (HIA).

According to the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, these transfers would not concern hospitals in the Alpes-Maritimes but those in Bouches-du-Rhône and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

A second transfer could be considered

Contacted, the Regional Health Agency remains vague.

"Medical evacuations of patients to Breton establishments would be likely to be organized, without however operations being planned at this stage".

The Telegram

however evokes the possibility of a second transfer in the region this weekend, "depending on the local situation".

The hospitals of Morlaix and Quimper would be called upon, as would that of Brest.

Medical deprogramming has already been announced in the city of Ponant.

In Brittany, only the department of Ille-et-Vilaine is currently affected by the curfew measures imposed by the State.

If it has been brought under control in the Rennes metropolitan area, the circulation of the virus has exploded in other sectors of the department.

The spread is also observed throughout the region.
