INFO JDD. A cluster was found in the English variant burning HEC; Restricted students

Of 19 cases after diagnosis Govt Among the HEC students, due to its partial English variation, an extensive screening event was held on Saturday at its Jui-en-Josas campus (Yelines) in order to encircle this cluster. The regional health agency, which initially conducted a massive test early in the second semester, had a hard time Saturday at the school gym. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., more than 600 students came for the PCR test. Director-General Eloc Beirach, who was appointed on Jan. 18, warned them by e-mail on Friday: “Before you get all the results of your tests, local health officials are openly asking you not to leave the campus before Sunday. ‘Make sure you are not infected.’

Affected students will be isolated for fourteen days

Of the 1,000 or more students who have recently stayed – up from the usual 1,650 – some are currently on vacation. But there are still others, especially those who follow the same program of the 19 students affected, and are stuck at this point. The first cases were announced last weekend.

It is difficult to know what the exact origin of the infections is at this stage. Like all major schools, HEC Paris’ 4,000 students currently have only distance learning. “By excluding certain subjects in small groups for students who arrived in January, by distributing from the rector,” the institution notes. U restaurants are closed, instead of take-out meals. The rooms are separate.

Concerned about health care, HEC Paris last September demanded that all students submit a negative PCR test within 72 hours of arriving on the 138-hectare campus.

So confronting the cluster, the Director General asked for everyone’s civic sense, inviting students to the test, even those who had recently been tested. He concluded his internal email with this alarming message: “Local health officials have assured us that imprisonment is inevitable if the variance spreads.” Test results are expected Sunday evening. Affected students will be isolated for fourteen days.
