As soon as the deconfinement implemented in the Pays de la Loire region, these suspect cases and risky contacts will have to be isolated for at least 14 days.
The deconfinement did not last very long for some. This Thursday 14th May 2020, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Pays de la Loire announced that 47 people are recognised as part of the contact-tracing circuit launched mid-week in the region.
Concretely, these are 16 Covid-19 confirmed cases and 31 risk contact cases identified by the treating physicians and the Health Insurance. Contact cases inside the outbreak should be tested immediately, the rest within seven days, corresponding to the average incubation period of coronavirus infection.
