SAINT-MARTIN :
For the week of August 16 to 22, 2021 (week 33, data stopped on August 22), there are 220 new cases in the territory of Saint-Martin, a figure down slightly this week since 254 new cases were identified in week 32, knowing that the number of tests is still at a high level with more than 3 carried out over the week. 652 new positive cases were recorded, in parallel, by Public Health France
Taking into account the consolidated data from previous weeks, this brings to 3 the number of cumulative cases of coronavirus confirmed in the territory (SI-DEP SPF data). It should be noted that since 273/23/08 (current week 2021), 34 new cases of COVID have been recorded out of 77 analyzes carried out, confirming a still strong circulation of the virus in the territory.
SAINT BARTHELEMY:
For week 33 (data stopped on August 22), there are 40 new cases in the territory of Saint-Barthélemy, 39 new positive cases are also recorded by SPF in parallel. This brings the number of cumulative confirmed coronavirus cases to 1 (SI-DEP SPF data). Since 520/23/08 (current week 2021), 34 new case of COVID has been recorded out of 1 analyzes carried out.

During week 33, there was 1 medical evacuation of a confirmed COVID patient to the Guadeloupe hospital center. In addition, we deplore 1 new death during week 33, as well as one death since the beginning of this week. (34) Since the start of the health crisis 47 residents of the Northern Islands have died.
NEWS POINTS:
The drive installed in Marigot (behind the Mac Donald) is open from Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., it primarily tests contact cases as well as people needing to be hospitalized. The health situation in Guadeloupe forces the Institut Pasteur to reduce its capacity to take PCR tests for Saint-Martin to 40 per day. Travelers are therefore advised to prioritize antigenic testing; in addition, it is to take into account the time of return of the results which is at least 36 hours. Due to the end of free PCR tests for foreigners (decree of July 6), the Marigot drive can no longer accept people without a Carte Vitale, the latter are thus called upon to get closer to BPA. The BPA laboratory performs PCR tests by appointment at its Hope Estate drive, it tests in priority contact cases and people needing hospitalization. On Saturdays, the Bio Pôle Antilles (BPA) laboratory is accessible for PCR samples (around 60), by appointment only. People wishing to access an antigen test are invited to contact pharmacies in the territory by offering (Sun, Soualiga, Concordia, Bellevue, Caribbean) each with their own test schedules. As a reminder, antigenic tests are particularly interesting for people called upon to travel, both internationally and on regional flights (results in less than 20 minutes for a result valid for 48 hours).
