The Ministry of Solidarity and Health informs of a 12th confirmed case of infection with the new coronavirus (COVID-19). The patient, of British nationality, is one of the people who had stayed in the Contamines-Montjoie chalet where, after the discovery of a first case, five people (secondary cases) were then diagnosed positive last week . The patient has remained in strict isolation in a referral hospital in Lyon since last Saturday, in accordance with the reinforced surveillance procedure for contact cases. His condition does not cause concern today.

Since his arrival at the hospital, he has been regularly evaluated and tested. A sample has tested positive for coronavirus today. This underlines the relevance of the isolation measures recommended for high-risk contact persons implemented in France.

France now has twelve confirmed cases of COVID-19, including six in the context of grouped contamination, in a chalet in Contamines-Montjoie. As of February 15, four patients were cured and discharged from the hospital and one patient died.

A specific telephone number has been opened locally to answer questions from those directly concerned: 0 800 100 379.
