They will go to meet the participants.

Five teams of volunteers but also professionals from the Red Cross, i.e. 45 people, trained in the fight against Covid, will be deployed in the festivals of the Alpes-Maritimes, including that of the cinema in Cannes and those of jazz in Nice and Juan-les-Pins, announced on Monday the Regional Health Agency (ARS) Paca.

An initiative taken while the incidence rate is on the rise in the department and returns above the national average.

Antigenic tests and vaccine

Deployed as part of the national strategy "Test, alert, protect", "these mediators will be responsible for recalling barrier measures, answering all questions concerning Covid-19, testing by means of antigenic tests and promoting vaccination", detailed Romain Alexandre, departmental delegate of the ARS.

A "punch" operation is also planned on the occasion of the July 14 bridge in train stations and at Nice airport to take advantage of the crossover between departures on vacation.

The Delta variant on the rise

In the Alpes-Maritimes, the incidence rate, down to 11 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, rose to 23 per 100,000 due to a spread of the Delta variant, which represents more than 40% of new cases.

Only 11 people, however, are currently hospitalized in intensive care.

The prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes took on July 1 an order extending until July 19 the wearing of the mask outdoors when a distance of two meters can not be respected.
