Attached below is the November 23 - November 29 update from ARS Guadeloupe. It shows a cumulative total of 162 cases on St Barth, +15 from the previous ARS report, although the accompanying text states that there are 13 new cases among residents.

[Covid-19 / Health bulletin] Situation update- Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy - Week from Monday 23 November to Sunday 29 November 2020:
Case details
Saint Martin: For the week of November 23 to 29, 2020 (week 48), there are 74 new cases in Saint-Martin versus 29 in week 47, i.e. more than double the number of contaminations. Taking into account the consolidated data from the previous weeks, this brings to 801 the number of cumulative cases of coronavirus confirmed by PCR test.
Saint-Barthélemy: the number of new cases among residents is 13. This brings to 162 the number of cumulative cases of coronavirus confirmed by PCR tests.
Hospitalized and deceased
The CH Louis-Constant Fleming is very mobilized for the management of the crisis. As of November 30, 4 confirmed Covid patients are hospitalized in the establishment's medical department. On the other hand, a medical evacuation of COVID patient was carried out to Guadeloupe in week 48.
Number of tests
In Saint-Martin: 385 additional tests were performed in the laboratory and in the hospital, with a total number of 7,838 tests recorded *.
The drive activity continues at the Saint-Martin hospital, making it possible to offer a PCR screening offer which must remain the benchmark test.
The antigen drive is now accessible at Hope Estate, open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The latter performed 269 tests in week 48, for 2 positive cases detected (NB: these figures are not cumulative with the previous figures in connection with PCRs, antigenic tests being the subject of special monitoring).
In Saint-Barthélemy: 270 additional tests were carried out in the laboratory, with a total number of 5,315 tests recorded *.
Monitoring of indicators
The ARS vigilantly monitors the indicators put in place for the monitoring of deconfinement:
-The incidence rate which measures the number of people positive for Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants over a period of one week. Two thresholds are set, a vigilance threshold of 10/100 000 inhabitants and an alert threshold of 50/100 000 inhabitants. A high incidence rate reflects the development of clusters or active viral circulation.
-The positivity rate which measures the number of people positive for Covid-19 / the number of tests carried out over a week. Two thresholds are set, a vigilance threshold of 5% and an alert threshold of 10%.
In Saint-Martin,
• The weekly incidence rate remains above the alert threshold and has been increasing since last week with a rate of 207/100 000 inhabitants (vs. 81/100 00 inhabitants week 47).
• The positivity rate over the past week is above the alert threshold and a marked increase compared to the previous week, it goes to 19.22% (vs 10.39% in W47).
These two indicators thus confirm once again a very active circulation on the territory. It is absolutely necessary to be extra vigilant, especially since the highest incidence rate concerns 15-44 year olds (309/100 000 inhabitants) and it is the 20-30 year olds who register the highest incidence rate. high: 398.47 / 100,000 inhabitants. All age groups are affected, in particular the 50-60 who rise to 209.5 / 100,000 inhabitants (VS 20.95 in week 47) or the 60-70 year-olds whose incidence rate is rising to 208.47 / 100,000 inhabitants.
The level of vulnerability always corresponds to “high” vulnerability. This situation is worrying as the tourist season will take off again with the opening of the territory to foreign tourists, especially North Americans. We must strengthen the early detection of positive cases, make contact tracing, enforce isolation when necessary to avoid the installation of transmission chains and the development of sources of contamination. The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events) or the professional sphere (at your workplace).
In Saint-Barthélemy,
• The incidence rate is declining with a rate of 132 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
• The positivity rate over the past week is 4.8% (versus 6.7% week 47). The 10-20 year olds are very affected with an incidence of 243.44 / 100,000 inhabitants VS 0 / 100,000 inhabitants. Overall the highest incidence is recorded among 15-44 year olds. The entire population is therefore called upon to take maximum precaution and to always respect barrier gestures.
This call for vigilance is reinforced by the presence of 2 clusters under investigation in the territory.
Advice to the population
The fragile people, often carriers of chronic diseases, must imperatively protect themselves thanks to the gestures barriers but also by refusing the physical contacts (hugs, braces…). In the event of symptoms, these people are invited to contact their doctor at the first signs. These people are called upon to strongly favor PCR tests rather than antigenic tests, deemed to be less sensitive.
If contamination is suspected, with or without symptoms, it is imperative not to go to your doctor's office. He must first be reached by telephone.
The TAP / RIPOSTE COVID-19 platform, still listening on 05 90 99 14 74, is evolving with a new unit, in order to best respond to the State's strategy based on three pillars, Test Alert Protect (TAP).
In conjunction with the partners of the health insurance (CGSS) and Public Health France, it carries out very important investigative work to identify contact cases and for requests for information on the methods of screening (difficulties for appointments). you with the laboratories, contact details of screening centers, planning of itinerant screening in municipalities, screening for flights from mainland France or the West Indies, preventive measures to be put in place in companies and procedures to have employees tested, the conduct to be followed for contact persons, requests for screening in public or private establishments, etc.). The platform continues to process a significant number of appeals and monitor compliance with isolation measures.
The COVID -19 epidemic should not make us forget the dengue fever which is still present: let's destroy our breeding grounds!

Le Journal is reporting that 11 island residents tested positive for COVID last week, but that only 8 tested positive on the island. I have yet to see an update for last week from ARS Guadeloupe.
From Le Journal, translation by Google:
Eight new cases of Covid last week
by V.A 12/11/2020
The epidemiological bulletin of Public Health France reports eleven residents of Saint-Barthélemy who were found positive for the coronavirus last week (from November 30 to December 6), but of whom only eight were tested on the island.
The positivity rate is 3.6%, against 4.8% the previous week which had seen thirteen new cases detected (including one outside the island).
"The epidemiological surveillance indicators confirm the decrease in viral circulation recorded previously", comments Santé Publique France.
Since August 3, two patients from Saint-Barthélemy have been evacuated and then taken care of in intensive care. A death has been deplored on our island since the start of the pandemic last February.

[FONT="]You asked about my source for the coronavirus new cases in St. Barthelemy. It is ultimately the Prefet de Siant- Barthelemy et de Saint Martin. I understand JHU pulls some of its outside of the U.S. data from another site- worldmeters.info. (JHU is Johns Hopkins University.) Worldmeters is a ‘robot’ site, meaning no one is watching over the site other then some routine maintenance. (A little like Wikipedia.) The new case numbers are posted on worldmeters by the ‘recognized’ authorities of each country. In the case of St. Barth, worldmeters states it’s source is ‘Prefet de Saint- Barthelemy et de Saint Martin.’ In the specific situation of the 15 new cases I posted for St. Barth, the Prefet posted 13 new cases on their own site and 15 new cases on the worldmeters site which JHU then posted. I am guessing the ’13’ posted on the Prefet site was a typo as the difference between 147 and 162 new cases from one period to the next is 15. Then again, maybe the total number of new cases is/was 160 not 162 for the island. To me it was confusing to post an obvious error from the Prefet and I posted the Prefet number posted on the worldmeters and therefore JHU sites. “Clear as mud?”[/FONT]

[FONT="]Google- ‘Johns Hopkins Covid Data’. Click on the blue box that says ‘United States.’ It will bring up all the countries of the world. Scroll down to Saint Barthelemy and click. You will see a chart for daily new cases for St. Barthelemy. Use your finger to move the vertical bar all the way to the right to December 8. There you will see the number 15. As with JHU, after each 24 hour period, worldmeters resets their ‘today’ deaths and new cases back to zero and each country repopulates today’s data. All of the charts are programmed to include the latest data. There are some differences between the worldmeters and JHU data but that is for another discussion outside of the Forum.[/FONT]

i suspect that the question regarding there being "15 Newly Diagnosed cases today on the island" arose from use of data on the Hopkins site where "each day shows new cases reported since the previous day".
Reports for St Barth are issued weekly, not daily. The reports reflect a 7 day period (Monday through Sunday) that ended a few days before the data are made public.

The weekly updates from ARS Guadeloupe seem to have disappeared. The last update that I saw included data through November 29.
Le Journal de St Barth is reporting information from another source, Public Health France.
From Le Journal as translated by Google: “ The epidemiological bulletin of Public Health France of December 18 reports two new cases discovered positive for Coronavirus for the week of December 7 to 13 and seven this week. The cases have been confirmed in patients aged between 15 and 64 years with the Saint-Barthélemy department of residence. The nine cases positive for Covid19 were tested by PCR tests and antigenic tests, which reflects a decrease in viral circulation. With ten consultations for Acute Respiratory Infection and no emergency room visits for suspected Covid, the previously recorded decrease in circulation is confirmed. A total of 182 cases have been confirmed since March 2020.”

An update has appeared, but there is still a missing update for the week November 30 - December 6.
Attached below is the December 7 - December 13 update from ARS Guadeloupe. It shows a cumulative total of 175 cases on St Barth, +13 from the previous ARS report, although the accompanying text states that there are 2 new cases among residents. Part of the discrepancy in numbers (+13 vs. +2) is likely from the missing week.
The update was accompanied by the text below, which has been translated by Google Translate:
[Bulletin n ° 99 - "Coronavirus" information]
COVID-19 situation update - Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy
Week from Monday 7 to Sunday 13 December.
Case details:
Saint Martin: For the week of December 07 to December 13, 2020 (week 50), there are 49 new cases in Saint-Martin including 3 cases detected with antigenic tests versus 74 in week 49. Taking into account the consolidated data for the weeks previous years, this brings the cumulative number of confirmed coronavirus cases to 918.
Saint-Barthélemy: the number of new cases among residents is 2. This brings the number of cumulative confirmed coronavirus cases to 175.
Hospitalized and deceased:
CH Louis-Constant Fleming remains very mobilized for the management of the crisis. As of December 14, 6 confirmed Covid patients are hospitalized in the establishment's medical department. No medical evacuation of COVID patients was carried out to Guadeloupe in week 50.
Number of tests
In Saint-Martin: 397 additional PCR tests were carried out, with a total number of 10,317 tests recorded1. 467 antigenic tests over week 50 were carried out, for 3 positive cases detected.
The drive activity continues at the Saint-Martin hospital, making it possible to offer a PCR screening offer which must remain the benchmark test.
The antigenic drive, accessible at Hope Estate, is reserved for travelers and tourists for their test 7 days after the first test made to arrive in the territory. This drive is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
In Saint-Barthélemy: 360 additional tests were carried out, with a total number of 7,955 tests recorded2.
Monitoring of indicators:
The ARS vigilantly monitors the indicators put in place for the monitoring of deconfinement:
-The incidence rate which measures the number of people positive for Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants over a period of one week. Two thresholds are set, a vigilance threshold of 10/100 000 inhabitants and an alert threshold of 50/100 000 inhabitants. A high incidence rate reflects the development of clusters or active viral circulation.
-The positivity rate which measures the number of people positive for Covid-19 / the number of tests carried out over a week. Two thresholds are set, a vigilance threshold of 5% and an alert threshold of 10%.
In Saint-Martin,
• The weekly incidence rate remains above the alert threshold with a rate of 137/100 000 inhabitants (Vs 207/100 000 inhabitants week 49).
• The weekly positivity rate seems to be decreasing but it should be noted that this is largely due to the new method of calculating SPF. Indeed, they no longer retain positive people repeatedly. They only count new infections. This mechanically lowers the positivity rate, it drops to 8.6% this week with all the precautions mentioned (vs 14.6% in W49). In addition, we note that the positivity rate of PCR tests is 11.5% and that of antigenic tests is 0.64% because these are mainly people who are doing well and will travel.
Thus these two indicators confirm a still notable circulation on the territory. A high level of vigilance must be maintained, once again this week the age group with the highest incidence rate remains that of 15-44 years old with (190/100 000 inhabitants).
The situation remains worrying as the tourist season has already started. The opening of the territory to foreign tourists, especially North Americans, the increase in the number of air rotations and the end of the year holidays approaching with a certain number of planned family reunions are all risk factors for an increase. massive number of cases. We must strengthen the early detection of positive cases, contact tracing, respect for isolation when necessary to avoid the installation of transmission chains and the development of sources of contamination. The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events as well as friends) or the professional sphere (at your workplace). The entire population is therefore called upon to take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
In week 50, 1 cluster is under investigation.
In Saint-Barthélemy,
• The incidence rate is decreasing and is found to be below the alert threshold with a rate of 20 cases per 100,000 inhabitant (vs. 112 in week 49). Due to the small numbers, the incidence by age group should be interpreted with caution. The entire population must remain mobilized, take maximum precaution and always respect barrier gestures more and more, despite the fact that there is no active cluster this week.
• The positivity rate is 0.6%.
So the whole population is being called to take maximum precaution and respect the barriers more, despite the fact that there is no active cluster this week.
Advice to the population:
Fragile people, often with chronic diseases, must protect themselves imperatively by refusing physical contacts (kisses, hugs, etc.). In case of symptoms, these people are invited to contact their treating doctor from the earliest signals. These people are called to strongly favor PCR tests over antigenic tests, which are deemed less sensitive.
In case of suspected contamination, with or without symptoms, it is imperative not to move to your doctor's office. Must contact him beforehand by phone.
The TAP / RIPOSTE COVID-19 platform always tuned at 05 90 99 14 74, evolves with a new cell, to best respond to the state's strategy based on Three pillars Test Alert Protect (TAP).
In conjunction with the health insurance partners (CGSS) and Santé Publique France, she carries out a very important investigative work to identify contact cases and for requests for information on the methods of screening (difficulties with appointments with the laboratories, coordinates of screening centers, scheduling of traveling screens in the municipalities, screening for metropolis or Antilles flights, prevention measures to be put in place in companies and procedures to have employees tested, the conduct to be used for people contacts, screening requests in public or private establishments ... ). The platform continues to handle a large number of calls and monitor compliance with isolation measures.

The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events as well as friends) or the professional sphere (at your workplace). The entire population is therefore called upon to take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
In week 50, 1 cluster is under investigation.
In Saint-Barthélemy,
• The incidence rate is decreasing and is found to be below the alert threshold with a rate of 20 cases per 100,000 inhabitant (vs. 112 in week 49). Due to the small numbers, the incidence by age group should be interpreted with caution. The entire population must remain mobilized, take maximum precaution and always respect barrier gestures more and more, despite the fact that there is no active cluster this week.
• The positivity rate is 0.6%.
So the whole population is being called to take maximum precaution and respect the barriers more, despite the fact that there is no active cluster this week.
Advice to the population:
Fragile people, often with chronic diseases, must protect themselves imperatively by refusing physical contacts (kisses, hugs, etc.). In case of symptoms, these people are invited to contact their treating doctor from the earliest signals. These people are called to strongly favor PCR tests over antigenic tests, which are deemed less sensitive.
In case of suspected contamination, with or without symptoms, it is imperative not to move to your doctor's office. Must contact him beforehand by phone.
The TAP / RIPOSTE COVID-19 platform always tuned at 05 90 99 14 74, evolves with a new cell, to best respond to the state's strategy based on Three pillars Test Alert Protect (TAP).
In conjunction with the health insurance partners (CGSS) and Santé Publique France, she carries out a very important investigative work to identify contact cases and for requests for information on the methods of screening (difficulties with appointments with the laboratories, coordinates of screening centers, scheduling of traveling screens in the municipalities, screening for metropolis or Antilles flights, prevention measures to be put in place in companies and procedures to have employees tested, the conduct to be used for people contacts, screening requests in public or private establishments ... ). The platform continues to handle a large number of calls and monitor compliance with isolation measures.
The COVID-19 outbreak should not make us forget the ever-present dengue: let's destroy our larval lodges!

Attached below is the text of the December 21 - December 27 update from ARS Guadeloupe, with translation by Google. It states a cumulative total of 190 cases on St Barth, +6 from the previous ARS report.

[COVID-19 situation update] - Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy /
Week from Monday December 21 to Sunday December 27, 2020.
Saint-Martin :
For the week of December 21 to December 27, 2020 (week 52), there are 32 new cases in Saint-Martin versus 38 in week 51, i.e. a stable number of contaminations. Taking into account the consolidated data from previous weeks, this brings to 995 the number of cumulative cases of coronavirus confirmed in the territory.
553 additional tests were carried out (PCR and antigens performed by healthcare professionals in the territory), for a total of 11,727 tests recorded1. It should be noted that the antigenic drive carried by the red cross, meanwhile carried out 625 antigenic tests in week 52 (for 3 positives), which are also counted.
The weekly incidence rate is above the alert threshold *, nevertheless it is decreasing compared to last week with a rate of 89/100 000 inhabitants in week 52 (Vs 106/100 000 inhabitants week 51).
The weekly positivity rate is slightly increasing and becomes higher than the vigilance threshold, it goes to 5.8% (vs 4.7% in W51).
All these indicators confirm a still active circulation on the territory. We must therefore maintain a high level of vigilance, knowing that this week the most affected age group remains that of 45-64 years with an incidence rate still of 149/100 000 inhabitants.Although the number of new cases seems to be stabilizing, the situation calls for vigilance since the tourist season is fully launched. The opening up of the territory to foreign tourists, especially North Americans, the increase in the number of air rotations and the end of year celebrations underway with a certain number of family reunions planned are all risk factors, which may soon result in a massive increase in the number of cases. We must strengthen the early detection of positive cases, contact tracing, respect for barrier gestures and isolation when necessary to avoid the installation of transmission chains and the development of sources of contamination. The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events as well as friends) or the professional sphere (at your place of work). The entire population is therefore called upon to take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
In week 52, it should be noted that no new cluster was identified in the territory.
CH Louis-Constant Fleming remains very mobilized for the management of the crisis. As of December 28, 5 confirmed Covid patients are hospitalized in the facility's medical department. A medical evacuation of COVID patients was carried out to Guadeloupe in week 52.
The drive activity continues at the Saint-Martin hospital, making it possible to offer a PCR screening offer which must remain the benchmark test.
The antigenic drive, accessible at Hope Estate, is reserved for travelers leaving for Guadeloupe or Martinique and for tourists accommodated on the French side (contracted accommodation providers). This drive is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will also be open on Saturday January 02 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saint-Barthélemy:
In Saint-Barthélemy, the number of new cases among residents is 6. This brings the number of cumulative confirmed coronavirus cases to 190.
The incidence rate is decreasing with a rate of 61/100 000 inhabitant (vs 92/100 000 in week 51). Due to the small numbers, the incidence by age group should be interpreted with caution. The entire population must remain mobilized, take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
The weekly positivity rate stabilizes and remains below the vigilance threshold, it drops to 1.6% (vs 1.5% in W51).
The cluster identified in a confined environment (yacht) is now considered to be under control.
The presence of foreign tourists, especially North Americans, the increase in the number of flight rotations and the approaching end of year holidays with a number of planned family reunions are all risk factors for a massive increase in the number of cases. We must strengthen the early detection of positive cases, contact tracing, respect for isolation when necessary to avoid the installation of transmission chains and the development of sources of contamination. The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events as well as friends) or the professional sphere (at your place of work). The entire population is therefore called upon to take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
The fragile people, often carriers of chronic diseases, must imperatively protect themselves thanks to the gestures barriers but also by refusing the physical contacts (hugs, braces…). In the event of symptoms, these people are invited to contact their doctor at the first signs. These people are called upon to strongly favor PCR tests rather than antigenic tests, deemed to be less sensitive.
If contamination is suspected, with or without symptoms, it is imperative not to go to your doctor's office. He must first be reached by telephone.
The TAP / RIPOSTE COVID-19 platform, still listening on 05 90 99 14 74, is evolving with a new unit, in order to best respond to the State's strategy based on three pillars, Test Alert Protect (TAP).
In conjunction with the partners of the health insurance (CGSS) and Public Health France, it carries out very important investigative work to identify contact cases and for requests for information on the methods of screening (difficulties for appointments). you with the laboratories, contact details of screening centers, planning of itinerant screening in municipalities, screening for flights from mainland France or the West Indies, preventive measures to be put in place in companies and procedures to have employees tested, the conduct to be followed for contact persons, requests for screening in public or private establishments, etc.). The platform continues to process a significant number of appeals and monitor compliance with isolation measures.
1 - Takes into account the SIDEP data update in week 51
* point of vigilance: the size of the population in Saint-Martin is 35,750 inhabitants. From 4 positive cases, the threshold of incidence of vigilance of 10/100 000 inhabitants is exceeded. The interpretation of the incidence rates must be combined with the interpretation of the positivity rate and the identification of the chain of secondary transmission or of grouped cases at risk of community spread (not controlled).

Attached below is the St Barth portion of the text of the December 28 - January 3 update from ARS Guadeloupe, with translation by Google. It states a cumulative total of 206 cases on St Barth, which is +16 from the previous ARS report, although the text states 14 new cases.
Saint-Barthélemy:
In Saint-Barthélemy, the number of new cases among residents is 14, including 9 residents (against 6 in W52). This brings the number of cumulative confirmed coronavirus cases to 206.
The incidence rate is increasing with a rate of 143/100 000 inhabitant (vs 61/100 000 in week 52). Due to the small numbers, the incidence by age group should be interpreted with caution. The entire population must remain mobilized, take maximum precaution and increasingly respect barrier gestures.
The weekly positivity rate stabilizes and remains below the vigilance threshold, it drops to 1.99% (vs 1.54% in W52).
The cluster identified in a confined environment (yacht) is now considered closed.
The presence of foreign tourists, especially from North America, the increase in the number of air tours and the holiday season are all risk factors for a massive increase in the number of cases. We must strengthen the early detection of positive cases, contact tracing, respect for isolation when necessary to avoid the installation of transmission chains and the development of sources of contamination. The virus is transmitted very often in the private sphere (family events as well as friends) or the professional sphere (at your place of work).

In this context, the ARS was at the initiative of setting up an antigenic drive on Saint-Barthélemy, in partnership with the community of Saint-Barthélemy. This device is carried by the French Red Cross, installed in Saint-Jean, has been open since December 29, 2020. It aims to accommodate the following audiences:
• travelers to the metropolis passing through Juliana airport
• French or foreign travelers who need an antigen test to travel to a foreign country (particularly the United States)
• people visiting Saint-Barthélemy having, by mistake, a test of more than 72 hours on arrival on the island
• travelers who have arrived on the island for 7 days and want to be tested to secure their stay.

Apparently there has been a spike in COVID cases on SBH post-NYE.
Le Journal has posted the following article on their website, which I have used Google to translate:
https://www.journaldesaintbarth.com/actualites/sante/covid-19-une-operation-speciale-de-tests-au-centre-de-depistage-de-saint-jean-les-11-et-12-janvier-202101081748.html
Covid-19: a special testing operation at the Saint-Jean screening center on January 11 and 12 01/08/2021
For three days, Saint-Barhélemy has recorded a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases. To quickly cut the chain of transmission of the virus, the outdoor screening center of the Red Cross located in Saint-Jean, behind the cemetery, will strengthen its screening campaign on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 January.
Opening hours have been extended: people who believe they have been exposed to risky situations during the New Year's Eve can be tested from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (instead of the usual 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.). During these two days, teams of the Red Cross will come in reinforcement from Saint-Martin.
The screening center only offers antigenic tests. They are free and the result is available in 30 minutes. The screening operation is open to French and foreign nationals without distinction, an identity document is required to register. Holders of a vital card must also bring one.
Attention, symptomatic people or contact cases must be tested by PCR at the Biopole laboratory located in Gustavia. It is open from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Initially reserved for travelers, the Red Cross screening center has broadened its skills to those who work and now tests around 100 people a day.

Covid-19: 62 positive tests in the first week of January 01/12/2021
After the end of the year celebrations, the Covid-19 is making progress on the island. Last week, from January 4 to 10, at least 62 people tested positive for the virus, up from 15 the previous week: 41 at the laboratory and 21 at the Red Cross screening center in Saint-Jean, according to recorded figures. by the Collectivity. To date, no serious cases have been reported.
In all, last week 1,182 people were tested on these two sites.
At the Red Cross screening center, teams had come to reinforce Saint-Martin for a massive testing campaign on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 January. This Tuesday morning at 10 am, the results were two positive tests out of 320 tests carried out.
For the time being, it is impossible to know how many positive results have been obtained by antigen tests in pharmacies, with private nurses or doctors: they are unable to put them online on the SI-DEP site, the security platform. social network that centralizes all test results.
