The prefecture of Doubs announced on Sunday that it had issued isolation orders against 48 French holidaymakers returning from Switzerland and unable to present proof of a negative test for Covid-19.

"These orders were taken in the context of the return to France of people who went to Switzerland in risk areas, in ski resorts", told AFP the chief of staff of the prefect of Doubs and under -prefect, Jean Richert, confirming information from France Bleu Belfort-Montbéliard.

The checks took place on Saturday afternoon during an operation specially set up at the border, and targeted nearly 200 vehicles.

Negative test or isolation for anyone returning from abroad

According to a decree of December 19, 2020, people returning from abroad must present proof of a Covid-19 screening test dating less than 72 hours demonstrating that they are not contaminated.

Otherwise, they risk being "quarantined" or "kept in isolation".

"Each order is personal, it specifies the identity of the person as well as the place where the isolation will be carried out", most often at home, added Jean Richert.

Isolation is scheduled for seven days.

Travel possibilities are limited to food shopping, administrative or legal summons and treatment procedures, including to carry out a test.

A negative test ends the isolation.

"You have to be careful, we know that Switzerland is extremely impacted by viral circulation, people who go to this country, especially during a ski vacation, must draw the consequences to return to the conditions. regulatory ”, warned Jean Richert.

Other control operations of this type "are intended" to be renewed, he said.
