In an attempt to contain this cluster as much as possible, the State services have also announced a walk-in screening operation, organized with the support of anti-Covid mediators from Lansargues in a town square.
A specific vaccination operation is also launched from this Friday, July 9.
The firefighters' vaccibus will thus complement the vaccination centers opened in the region.
Each person can come and have a dose of Pfizer injected without an appointment.
Another cluster in the Vosges
As a reminder, the prefecture of the Vosges had announced the same day the detection of an outbreak of nine positive cases of the Delta variant, concerning supporters returning from Hungary where they attended a match in Portugal during the Euro football. The Puskas Arena is the only venue in the competition with a 100% gauge and where the wearing of a mask is optional. For several days, the number of contaminations has not dropped in many French departments. The Delta variant is probably not for nothing: while it represented less than 5% of cases in early June, it is now detected in 39.7% of the positive tests screened, according to data from Public Health France.
