Businesses in La Rochelle are no better off than canteens and schools during an epidemic. Including large areas. On Friday January 21, the Lidl supermarket in Villeneuve-les-Salines was forced to lower the curtain due to a large number of Covid-19 cases among staff.
The level of circulation of the virus, in particular of the Omicron variant, is still very high in New Aquitaine (incidence rate of 2,477 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and positivity rate of 24%). More than 148,000 new cases of Covid were identified last week in New Aquitaine.
