The Covid-19 epidemic is on the rise in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
"We are at more than 400% of contaminations in one week with an incidence rate of 210 per 100,000 inhabitants" in this department, indicated Thursday the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.
To stem this phenomenon, measures have just been taken in public spaces.

Thus, wearing a mask is once again compulsory everywhere, except at the beach and in large natural spaces, in all the municipalities of the department.
And this until August 2 indicated Friday the prefecture.
Alcohol prohibited on public roads
Moreover, while tourists have already arrived, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is also prohibited on public roads and public spaces outside restaurants and bars.
The incidence rate fell from 12.7 per 100,000 inhabitants on July 2 to 129.9 per 100,000 inhabitants ten days later.
Last Tuesday, Pierre Ricordeau, the director of the Occitanie Regional Health Agency indicated that the population density of this department, like those of Hérault and Haute-Garonne also faced a recovery, but also tourist flows or the proximity of Catalonia could explain this outbreak.
