  • The idea of ​​local confinement at the weekend would hold the cord after the visit, this Saturday in Nice, of the Minister of Health Olivier Véran who asked the prefect to "continue the consultation with all the elected officials of the territory" .

  • The incidence rate of the epidemic in the metropolis of Nice is particularly high: it exceeds 700 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants, more than three times the national average.

The measure is still unprecedented in metropolitan France.

But faced with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in the Alpes-Maritimes and in particular in Nice, the government could well decide, before this Sunday evening, on local confinement during the weekends.

This idea would hold the cord after the visit, this Saturday in Nice, of the Minister of Health Olivier Véran who asked the prefect to "continue the consultation with all the elected representatives of the territory" with a view to "additional measures".

They can range from "a reinforced curfew to local containment on weekends," he said on Twitter.

"I will not accept that nothing is done," said Estrosi

"If one of the measures to be taken to return to normal life as quickly as possible was partial confinement, I told the minister that I would be in favor," explained for his part the LR mayor of the fifth city of France Christian Estrosi.

Whether it's all weekend?

From noon until such time?

Regardless, a decision must be made to avoid deaths, to avoid long-term illnesses.

"

“I will not accept that nothing is done,” he also said.

The option of confinement on weekends "deserves to be studied" because it would discourage tourists who would have wanted to book a stay in Nice, as well as "those who take risks by gathering ten, fifteen or twenty on weekend ”, also observed the elected official.

Other mayors are not in favor

The incidence rate of the epidemic in the metropolis of Nice is particularly high: it exceeds 700 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants, more than three times the national average (190).

In the department, it reached 590 according to the ARS Paca.

According to Biogroup laboratories, from February 8 to 14, 48.1% of positive cases were due to the English variant and 2.1% were South African and Brazilian variants.

From one end of the department to the other, the LR mayors of Menton and Grasse, Jean-Claude Guibal and Jérôme Viaud, interviewed by

Nice-Matin

, do not want new restrictive measures, but rather to "do respect ”those that exist.

The president of the Paca region believes for his part that "the Alpes-Maritimes will take the appropriate decision", and indicates that an "aid and solidarity plan" is in preparation.
