The consultations in town medicine for chickenpox worry: they have exceeded seasonal values in the last two weeks, with respectively 25 and 22 cases estimated, indicates the bulletin of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) Guadeloupe / Iles du Nord. “If this upward trend is confirmed, the chickenpox epidemic will be declared.” The development of this highly contagious disease is therefore closely monitored. Regarding Saint-Barth, it is the opposite scenario: no clinically suggestive case has been identified since the beginning of the month. It is essential to take “precautions to avoid transmission to people with weakened immune systems, adults who have never had the disease and pregnant women,” according to Health Insurance.
