Recommendations from the prefecture
Faced with the still very active viral circulation, the Prefecture of Guadeloupe would like to make a few reminders:
– It is strongly recommended to maintain barrier gestures and to wear a mask, especially for fragile and vulnerable people. This recommendation also applies to everyone in enclosed places where there is a high concentration of people and during large gatherings, including outdoors;
-Isolate yourself in the event of signs suggestive of infection and be tested at the slightest doubt that you are asymptomatic or in contact. Fragile people must continue to protect themselves.
