Recommendations from the prefecture
Faced with the still very active viral circulation, the Prefecture of Guadeloupe wants to make some memories:
– It is strongly recommended to keep barrier gestures and wear a mask, especially for fragile and vulnerable people. This recommendation also applies to everyone in closed places where there is a high concentration of people and during large gatherings, including outdoors;
-Isolate yourself in case of signs that suggest infection and get tested at the slightest suspicion if you are asymptomatic or in contact. Fragile people must continue to protect themselves.
