It is here that the former deputy of the North Laurent Pietraszewski, Secretary of State in charge of retirement and occupational health, came to launch the third massive Covid-19 screening campaign: after those of Le Havre and Charleville -Mézières in December, all the inhabitants of this northern town are offered, until the end of the week, a systematic screening test for Covid-19.
Objective: to make a "photograph" of the epidemic, and to assess the circulation of the new English variant.
All positive results will undergo further analysis to determine which virus strain is infecting patients.
