The Prince’s Government continues to urge the population to be vigilant, with the announcement of free screening for everyone returning from holidays abroad. During the period October 25-31, there were 3815 PCR and antigenic tests, registering a positivity rate of 1.02%.
It should also be noted that it is possible to have a free blood test to establish one’s level of immunity and to decide whether or not to receive a third dose of vaccine.
And in France?
In the neighbouring Alpes-Maritimes, on November 3, the incidence rate was 66 (number of cases over 7 days per 100,000 people). Compared to the Principality, the positivity rate is slightly higher (1.4%).
A stricter health protocol in French schools was unveiled the same day. Masks will again be compulsory for pupils in 39 new departments. As soon as a case of COVID is detected in a child, the whole class is closed.
