As the coronavirus epidemic progresses in Île-de-France, Patrick Serrière, manager of several private hospitals, warns that the curve of Covid-19 patients "is becoming a little exponential".

Proof of this "real acceleration", private hospitals will take on more and more coronavirus patients.

INTERVIEW

A second wave of coronavirus which is accelerating sharply in Île-de-France.

Invited Sunday noon on Europe 1, Aurélien Rousseau, the director of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) did not hide his concern about the future of the French health situation.

A few hours later, at the same microphone, Patrick Serrière, who manages in particular the private hospital Marc Chantereine, in Seine-et-Marne confirms the statements of the ARS.

According to him, the curve of the epidemic "becomes a little exponential".

"A real acceleration" 

"Marc Chantereine is now caring for 32 Covid-19 patients in critical care, whereas they were less than 20 a week ago," he explains.

"Until the last few weeks, the contamination curve was linear and there it becomes a bit exponential with real acceleration."

A sufficiently worrying phenomenon for the ARS of Ile-de-France to ask all hospitals, public and private, to "modulate their activity", explains the specialist.

50% deprogramming

Concretely, "most private hospitals are going to treat an increasingly large proportion of Covid-19 patients. We are talking about a much greater deprogramming of the activity of around 50%".
