The presentation of an RT-PCR or antigen screening test carried out in the last 72 hours for entry into Corsica remains mandatory until at least next month, announces the prefecture of Corsica. The device, put in place on December 19, with the approach of the end of year holidays, was initially to remain in effect until January 8.

Its extension was finally acted this Wednesday, January 7, at the request of the prefect of Corsica, Pascal Lelarge, and the director of the regional health agency of Corsica, Marie-Hélènne Lecenne. This in order to " reduce the risk of epidemic resurgence ", while Corsica is currently performing well, with an incidence rate below the national average (64 / 100,000 inhabitants in Corsica against 144.1 / 100,000 inhabitants for the national average on January 7).

Especially since the device, indicates the prefecture of Corsica, has proved its worth: " after three weeks of application, the checks have indeed shown that this measure was well accepted by the population of the island and travelers: 98.8% of the 58,000 passengers screened between December 19 and January 4 had satisfied the test requirement .
