During a press conference on Wednesday, the director general of the regional health agency wished to recall the barrier measures to be put in place to combat the spread of the virus if it were to be imported.
It is therefore strongly advised not to kiss or shake hands after touching your face. It is also highly recommended to wash your hands very often with soap or to use hydroalcoholic gel for people who cannot wash their hands during the day.
Vigilance must be exercised with people who cough or spit because the virus is spread in particular via postillions. This is why these people are asked to wear a mask.
However, it is not necessary for an uncontaminated person to wear it. “The mask is used only for a sick person, so that they do not sputter or spit on others. Because not only must we protect ourselves, but we must also think about protecting others, ”explains the director of ARS. "It's like the flu!" We should wear a mask to protect others, ”she compares.
The ARS supplied the Louis-Constant Fleming hospital center last weekend with masks. Another 1 were delivered to Saint-Barthélemy airport. "As soon as someone is seen coughing or spitting, they will be given a mask," says Valérie Denux.
Masks are also provided to liberal physicians so that they can give them to their suspect patients. (soualigapost.com)
