On a voluntary basis, the people of Nice* will be able to find out if they have developed antibodies at the time of the test. A serological screening will also provide an epidemiological picture of a large city.
The serological tests have finally been validated in France by the national reference center and health authorities. That is why I have decided to launch a large-scale screening operation and allow all the people of Nice to benefit from it. It is aimed at those who do not exhibit symptoms identified by a doctor and covered by Social Security,” announced Christian Estrosi on Friday afternoon during a press conference.
“This information will be useful in the event of a resurgence of the disease,” specified the mayor of Nice, “On a voluntary basis, I also propose that the people of Nice who get tested participate in a large epidemiological study conducted by the Nice University Hospital to better understand this virus.”
