“Why not a re-containment?
": The first deputy mayor of Marseille, Michèle Rubirola, spoke on Monday of the possibility of re-containment in this city to fight against Covid-19, a possibility however ruled out by the municipality and the prefecture at this stage.
"Having discussed it with the professionals, I think that a 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. curfew will not necessarily bring something more: why not a re-containment to protect the Marseillaises and the Marseillais, but a real re-containment for that this virus stops circulating?
“Asked the short-lived environmental mayor and current deputy in charge of health on BFMTV.
An opinion that does not "reflect the position of the municipality"
“As a healthcare professional, since I am still a doctor above all else, why not redefine?
», Repeated the one who was mayor of Marseille less than six months before resigning and leaving the place to his first socialist deputy Benoît Payan.
Contacted by AFP, the communication service of the town hall assured that this opinion did not reflect the position of the municipality, further stressing that such a decision was not the responsibility of the city but of the State.
When questioned, the prefecture of Bouches-du-Rhône indicated that the "hypothesis of a reconfinement in Marseille is not (was) on the agenda for the moment".
