We solve our problems between us, thank you,

" plague the owner of a tobacco shop, questioned by

Le Figaro

.

"

It is a policy not to speak to the press,

" slice a manager of a hotel establishment.

We don't have time for that,

” we hear ourselves answer in medical offices.

The sudden illumination of the small city of Côtes-d'Armor - where a new variant has appeared undetectable by PCR test - is not viewed favorably by the inhabitants.

Nothing to report, go your way.

Whether it's a Breton variant or elsewhere, the result is the same.

The Covid a little back in the mores

”, laments Delphine, pharmacist in a small town of neighboring Trégor.

As long as it is not more dangerous and contagious, it does not worry people

, remarks Laurent, responsible in the same pharmacy.

People really respect all the barrier measures here,

”he continues.

By nature, the Bretons are not worried people

, says Stéphanie, a home nurse.

Everything is managed in the hospital, for the moment there are no repercussions.

But we are entitled to ask questions: when we see the influx of tourists that there was in February, we can wonder if this does not favor the appearance of new variants.

It might be time to resume stricter confinements and stop with this curfew, which is only confinement for the active,

”she pleaded

This is the second cluster at Lannion hospital since the start of the pandemic.

The establishment where the eight cases carrying the new Breton variant were discovered, is instructed not to communicate.

But other health structures are vigilant and await instructions.

There is no psychosis, we do not feel any particular concern in the voice of the patients.

We have already implemented all the measures,

”declares the management of the Trégor polyclinic.

The residence of Parc Sainte Anne, a nursing home from Lannion, had just eased the isolation procedures for residents a little, since Monday, following government recommendations.

The director, Florian Le Men, is now awaiting more information from the ARS. “

We are still very keen on barrier measures

,” he says.

And we strongly advise against family outings

”.
