Coronavirus belongs to the category of serious viral diseases that spread by airborne droplets and contact, which is why it is rapidly spreading around the world. France is no exception.
The number of coronavirus cases in Nice
The first time coronavirus in Nice was registered on February 28, 2020. During this period, the Minister of Health spoke about 38 confirmed cases of infection in France.
At the moment, 105 people have been hospitalized in medical institutions on the Cote d'Azur. 107 patients with coronavirus have already recovered and have been discharged from the hospital. 21 patients are currently in intensive care, and 15 have died. The mayor of Nice also tested positive for coronavirus. Doctors say that the patient's condition is stable, and the disease is mild. The mayor managed to recover, he immediately set about solving epidemiological problems.
The number of coronavirus cases in Nice is constantly growing, so the city, as well as the whole country, has been quarantined. In the city, every morning, washing and disinfection of sidewalks in places of the greatest concentration of people is carried out.
To prevent the number of people infected with the coronavirus in Nice from increasing, a strict curfew was introduced in the city at night. Control at this time is carried out by ground and helicopter patrols. All outlets except pharmacies, post offices and grocery stores are closed. Every evening at 20.00, all the citizens of Nice come out onto the balconies and applaud the doctors who are treating the sick, in danger.
The mayor of the city explained why a curfew was introduced in the region. He explains that if pharmacies and grocery stores are closed, then there is no need for people to go out. Movement around the city is allowed for medical personnel or social workers, who must carry supporting documents with them. They provide full-fledged treatment and hospitalization of people, as well as deliver essential goods. All other categories of citizens are prohibited from leaving their homes at night.
Are there trains from Moscow to Nice?
On March 4, the Ministry of Transport in the Russian Federation announced that the Moscow-Nice train would be suspended.
Railway transport, which passes through the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Austria, Monaco, Italy, will not run due to the current situation with the coronavirus in Europe. Cancellation of routes will be in effect until the relevant government order is received.
What to do with a ticket to Nice?
Since the situation in Nice with the coronavirus is unfavorable and the hotels do not accept tourists, transport is not provided for travel. At the moment, it is impossible to buy a ticket to France. If the tourist already has a ticket, then he can reschedule the trip to another date.
If a person completely refuses to travel, then he must write an application at a travel agency. At the same time, you need to make sure that the travel agency employee puts his signature on the application. In connection with the current situation in the world with coronavirus, all travel agencies return the full cost of the tour to the tourist. Most firms do not want to be a loser and lose money, so they offer tourists to postpone the trip to a later date. According to forecasts, a trip to Nice for the summer should be canceled, since although quarantine measures may be suspended, there will still be a risk of contracting the disease.
Is there a quarantine for those arriving from Nice?
The Russian Federation is constantly evacuating tourists who are stuck in different countries due to the spread of the coronavirus. Previously, it was decided that people who came from Nice must be in self-isolation for 14 days.
In early April, the government took tougher measures for those people who come from abroad. They must stay for 2 weeks in isolation facilities specially equipped by the state. On the 10th day of stay in the isolation ward, a biomaterial is taken from a person for testing for coronavirus. Upon receipt of a preliminary positive result, a citizen must be in an isolation ward and wait for the result of a re-analysis, which is carried out in a laboratory at Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow.
Quarantine for arrivals from Nice is mandatory. If the test for coronavirus is positive, then the patient is sent for treatment to an infectious disease hospital. Staying in isolation reduces the risk of infection to their family members, friends, acquaintances and strangers.
Coronavirus in Nice is actively spreading, so the authorities decided to declare a quarantine in order to prevent it. At the moment, travel for citizens of the Russian Federation to this city is not possible.
