Unlike the first epidemic wave, the French hospital system will not benefit as massively from transfers of patients from one region to another.
Today, almost the entire territory is affected, seeing the risk of saturation of intensive care services increasing everywhere.
In the meantime, these operations by TGV or plane are still carried out at the margin.
Especially towards the Atlantic coast which is doing relatively better for the moment.
This Wednesday, four people affected by Covid-19 and hospitalized in Avignon (Vaucluse), are transferred to Brest (Finistère).
A military plane was mobilized for this.

Other transfers from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region took place Monday and last week to relieve the hospitals of Lyon and Saint-Étienne.
Serious cases had this time been distributed in the establishments of Bordeaux, Brive and Poitiers.
During the night from Thursday to Friday in Hauts-de-France, eight patients from Roubaix and Tourcoing were transferred to the Lille University Hospital and establishments in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Montreuil-sur-Mer and Amiens.
