ARS Normandie and the Prefect of La Manche have launched a free screening campaign without prescription in the seaside towns of La Manche.
In a press release published this Wednesday 22nd July 2020, the prefecture of Manche and the ARS Normandie announced the launch of a screening campaign, free and without prescription, for Covid-19, in the seaside towns of the department.
The ARS specifies the objective of this campaign:
“In order to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19, a strategy of identification of cases, screening of their contacts and isolation of sick people and at-risk contacts has been implemented since the start of the epidemic throughout the Norman territory. The objective is to identify the appearance of new cases very early, and in particular new grouped cases, to limit viral circulation in the territory.”
Proactive screening actions will thus be carried out in several municipalities with the agreement of the mayors concerned.
