First results of the serological study, unique in France, conducted on the Perpignan clusters during the first wave: they show that at the beginning of July 46.7% of the inhabitants of the Saint-Jacques district had been infected with Covid-19.
The curve of infection had been dazzling between the first cases recorded on 11 March and the end of the first wave, which claimed a total of 34 victims in the Eastern Pyrenees. To study this extraordinary cluster that hit the gypsy community of Perpignan head-on, the city’s hospital, its main department of infectious and tropical diseases, conducted a serological study with Public Health France Occitanie on the most affected areas: Saint-Jacques , Haut-Vernet and Nouveau Logis. About 700 people were sampled and questioned between late June and early July. The first results made public on Monday 16 November show a high rate of contamination, but unevenly distributed according to neighborhoods and age groups.
The detailed data and the first conclusions to be drawn for the management of the current second wave, to be read this Monday evening on our website and in our Catalan edition, on newsstands this Tuesday 17 November.
