The second provisional deconfinement map of France was unveiled this Friday evening. Several changes are to be reported compared to the previous day due to errors in the counting of certain hospital data.
In summary, the northeast quarter of the country, Ile-de-France and Mayotte remain in red. But six departments have seen their color code change:
From red to green : Haute-Corse, Lot.
From red to orange: Expensive.
From orange to green : Calvados, Dordogne, Tarn.
Presented each evening until the final “synthesis” card of May 7, this tool is supposed to give an overview of the level of deconfinement that the French should expect from May 11.
As a reminder, if your department is classified in green, this means that the deconfinement will take place under the conditions set out on Wednesday, in particular with regard to the reopening of colleges or parks.
If your department is listed in red, the infection rate and the number of people hospitalized are still too high. And therefore that the movement restrictions will be more important, even if the vagueness persists on the modalities of this "more strict" deconfinement.

In orange, we find the departments which are in an intermediate situation and are likely to switch to red.
How are the departments divided?
The first criterion, established by the Ministry of Health and Public Health France, is "the proportion of emergency visits for suspected Covid-19". This indicator has been strongly criticized since Thursday evening because, due to data entry errors, several departments, including Lot, Cher and Haute-Corse, have been classified in red while they are part of the territories the most spared from coronavirus.
The second factor is “the tension” of hospital capacities, assessed at regional level. It will be a question of seeing, according to the rate of use of intensive care and intensive care beds, "the capacity of the hospital system to have recovered from this first wave," said Edouard Philippe on Wednesday.
Last parameter taken into account: the level of preparation of each territory to be able to test all the patients presenting symptoms and to detect the people having been in contact with confirmed cases of Covid, condition sine qua non to avoid too rapid and massive recovery of the epidemic.
