We also learn this morning that a first case of infection has been confirmed in France, according to health authorities. He was detected Thursday in Ile-de-France.
It would be a 29-year-old man with no history of travel to a country where the virus is circulating, said the Directorate General of Health and Public Health France. As soon as his infection was suspected, this person was taken care of and, in the absence of seriousness, is isolated at his home.
An in-depth epidemiological investigation is carried out by the teams of Public health France and the Ile-de-France Regional Health Agency, in conjunction with the doctor who treated this person.
The people who have been in close contact with this patient are currently being identified. They will receive information from the health authorities on what to do in order to limit the spread of the virus.
