One step forward, one step back.
In the North, indicators of the coronavirus epidemic have started to rise again.
With an incidence rate of 71.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the department is again above the alert threshold, established at 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
From Monday, the prefecture will therefore reactivate health measures to try to slow the progression of the epidemic.
Health protocol number 2 will be implemented in National Education.
This implies the "reestablishment of the wearing of masks indoors for elementary school students", specifies the prefecture.
However, classes are still 100% face-to-face and indoor or outdoor sports activities are still authorized, subject to respecting physical distancing.
Gauges in certain establishments open to the public
In schools, classes will close from the first positive case with a continuation of distance learning.
In middle and high schools, high-risk contact students, without complete vaccination, continue their distance learning for 7 days.
The contact pupils at risk justifying a complete vaccination continue the face-to-face lessons.
The epidemic resumption also implies the return of the gauges in establishments open to the public.
It is set at “75% of the reception capacity” in performance halls and concerts where the public is standing, in dance halls and discotheques.
