![Covid-19: what are the places where the risk of contamination is the highest?](https://img.passeportsante.net/1000x526/2020-10-28/i97264-.jpeg)
Businesses, public transport, schools, sports halls? In which places is the risk of Covid-19 contamination at its maximum?
The riskiest: a closed space and a high density of people
Unsurprisingly, closed places with a large number of people are the places most at risk, especially if they are not ventilated, which can be the case of certain shops, places of worship, sports halls and sports halls. apartments.
In these places, the more people there are, the less social distancing is respected.
Moreover, according to Public health France, ” the six communities for which the proportion of high-criticality clusters is the highest are nursing homes (73%), vulnerable communities (travelers, migrants in precarious situations, etc.) (58%), social medical establishments in disabled people (51%), health establishments (46%), penitentiary establishments (39%) and social accommodation and integration establishments (39%) “.
The question of businesses and schools
We therefore know that the virus, in a symptomatic person or not, remains suspended in the air and spreads more easily in a closed environment. We can then wonder why the government has not pushed more, since deconfinement, to teleworking “wherever possible”, as asked Dominique Costagliola, epidemiologist member of the Academy of Sciences in an interview with the JDD a few days ago.
A request apparently heard by Emmanuel Macron, who announced in his speech of October 28 that telework will be “generalized wherever possible”, while specifying that the new confinement will allow work to “continue”: “You can go out to work “.
As for schools and universities, Public Health France announced a few days ago that these environments were part of ” clusters under investigation ”. Schools and universities represent 26% of clusters and private or public companies, 21%.
