Faced with the multiplication of cases of contamination with the coronavirus, concern is gaining Parisian transport. On Tuesday, several members of the RATP security service exercised their right of withdrawal to obtain hydroalcoholic gel. This Thursday, information published by RTL indicates that a woman working in one of the stations of line 6 has been tested positive for the disease, and is currently hospitalized. "If the RATP stops because there is a contaminated agent, we are not respecting the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal is individual", wanted to remind Muriel Pénicaud, the Minister of Labor, guest of Sonia Mabrouk, on Europe 1.

"A right of withdrawal is never collective. It is individual, if there is a serious or imminent danger to your life or your health. There are very few work situations of this type," says the minister. "Do not panic," she adds, as France is about to move to stage 3 - the highest - of the epidemic.
