Faced with the congestion in analysis laboratories and the emergency linked to the upsurge in the Covid-19 epidemic, the City of Paris, in conjunction with the Regional Health Agency and the Primary Health Insurance Fund , has been setting up free testing centers since Monday.
At the opening, you still had to show a little patience to have your nostrils "rubbed" at the Emile-Antoine sports center (15th century).
More than two hours of waiting in the morning, a little less in the afternoon.
Two other fixed sites are also accessible.
One on the forecourt of the Town Hall (4th century), the other in front of the 19th century town hall.
In addition, two mobile barnums will move each day to a different district.
The device will thus be able to perform nearly 1,350 PCR tests (by sampling from the nostril) each day.
