With four screening centers set up on Monday to contain the seven foci of infections identified on the spot, Mayenne is at the center of concerns about the spread of the virus responsible for Covid-19 in mainland France. But the Pays-de-la-Loire department is not the only source of concern in France. In Marseille, many doctors are also seeing worrying signs of recovery, as summer accelerates population movements. "We will have to think about having a coordinated policy to prevent the city, in a fortnight, from being a city stricken by an epidemic that we would have badly planned and anticipated", alerted Monday on Europe 1 Annie Levy- Mozziconacci, doctor at the North hospital.
Doubling of the number of positive cases every 48 hours
>> LIVE - Coronavirus: follow the situation on Monday
For the past ten days, nursing staff have observed an increase in curves, with a doubling of the number of positive cases reported every 48 hours. Hence the idea of doctors to replace brigades to do prevention, in the form of mobile teams capable of moving to strategic places such as beaches, terraces or even shopping centers.
"I think that the ARS PACA [the regional health agency of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur] must set up these human brigades so that they can manage this population which wants to go out, these tourists who have want to discover our city and so that there is no recurrence ", continues Annie Levy-Mozziconacci.

"Perform automatic screening at airports and ferry terminals"
The doctor also insists on the need to intensify the screenings. "Today, it will also be necessary, at the level of airports and ferry terminals, to carry out systematic screening", she specifies. This alert from Marseille doctors is also addressed to the new mayor, Michèle Rubirola, a doctor by profession, so that a municipal crisis unit can be set up immediately in the event of a second wave.
