Organized solidarity.
While we are undergoing yet another resumption of the coronavirus epidemic despite a vaccination rate that exceeds 70% of people over 12 years old, the national territory is not uniformly impacted.
Rather spared for the moment, the Hauts-de-France are trying to relieve the hardest hit areas, such as Occitania and the West Indies.
According to the latest figures from Public Health France, the daily incidence rate in Hauts-de-France is 15.1 per 100,000 inhabitants.
In the south of France, it is much higher, between 36 and 70.6 depending on the department.
The maximum is 971 per 100,000 inhabitants in Guadeloupe.
With us, therefore, the lull has also allowed the prefect of the North to cancel at least temporarily the measure making compulsory the health pass in large shopping centers.
Patients received and caregivers sent
The Hauts-de-France Regional Health Agency (ARS) also explains that the relatively low hospital pressure in the region allows it to put its resources at the service of the suffering departments.
Since August 10, patient transfers have been made from Occitanie to Hauts-de-France.
To date, 9 people have been received in the intensive care units of the hospitals of Amiens, Lille, Tourcoing, Béthune and Douai.
Caregivers in the region are also mobilized to help the West Indies.
More than a hundred volunteers, in particular nurses, doctors and nursing assistants, are already on site to support their West Indian colleagues.
Several Samus and hospitals in the region also contribute to the organization of medical evacuations from Overseas.
