Question 28936 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Jean-Philippe Nilor alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the urgent need to generalize screenings as part of the fight against the spread of covid-19. The so-called overseas territories and particularly Martinique are not spared. This crisis amplifies an already worrying situation due to the insularity of these territories, the fragility of the hospital system, the existence of a high rate of comorbidity, the aging of the population and the profusion of chronic diseases. Based on the opinion of the covid-19 scientific council of April 8, 2020 which mentions in its report that "the epidemic in the overseas territories will worsen in the coming weeks" and also recommends "Diagnostic tests (RT-PCR COVID): a "test, test, test" strategy from now on", also based on the speech by the President of the Republic of April 13, 2020 which extends the "strictest" confinement by four weeks before considering a gradual deconfinement and which is committed to "a mask for the general public", he asks what concrete measures he intends to take to immediately amplify the means in terms of daily testing capacity but also to generalize covid-19 tests in Martinique, Guadeloupe and Guyana and thus make these territories of the pilot territories.
