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 .

It looks like the school is still open but there's a curfew in effect so they had to change some class times.

Thanks Scruffy. At least they are open.

It's great that the studio is open, but I think a national curfew of any sort as a Covid response is silly at best. Ajaccio is not Paris. There's not a lot going on in the streets of Ajaccio after 8pm anyway. It just inconveniences residents. France should allow local governments to set a curfew, if any. Just my opinion.

Apparently Macron will be making a decision on the 27th to decide if France goes on full lockdown again, because the first one worked so well. I hope he decides against it.

It depends on the specific city you consider, I think. Where I live we have a lot of ''dormitory'' towns that are next to bigger towns which are the ''centre'' of the area. These dormitory towns are basically places where people have their houses and go there ''to sleep'', but they actually live in those bigger towns I mentioned above: they go to work, or to school or go out with friends in those bigger towns.
The reference point of my area is a little city that has 35.000 inhabitants, which means only half of the population of Ajaccio. Well, this small city is full of shops, bars, pizzerias, restaurants, sandwich shops and whatever other place where you can go with other people in the evening. Also, during the afternoon you'll find a lot of elderly men walking around on the main streets just because they have nothing else to do. If you go out in the afternoon and didn't pay attention to the masks, you wouldn't even know there is a pandemic.
So to let local governments set the curfew is a good idea in my opinion. Some even set the curfew only in some districts of a town.
Ajaccio seems a calm place but it is the biggest city of Corsica, so it definitely won't be like a metropolis but a curfew may help. Obviously if people don't collaborate and there isn't the police to check everything, it is useless.
