The establishment is still in level 2 white plan, with 46 patients suffering from Covid-19 in its services, including seven in intensive care. Emergencies also record a “very high” level of activity, with an average of 140 visits per day (compared to an ordinary average of 115) and even a peak of 166 on Monday February 7.

Visits remain suspended except for medical decision and special situations (paediatrics, end of life, etc.).
