これが「フランス流」、隔離先は海辺の保養施設　武漢から帰国の１７９人

【カリールルエＡＦＰ＝時事】新型コロナウイルス感染の症状が出ていないかどうかを確認するため、1日2回検温し、看護師にチェックしてもらう。それ以外の主な心配事は、携帯電話の充電や洗濯をどうするかだ。（写真は仏南東部カリールルエにある保養施設）
　中国からフランスに帰国した１７９人――ほとんどはフランス人とその中国人配偶者――は１日、フランス南東部のリゾート地で隔離生活を開始した。今後２週間をそこで過ごすことになる。
　隔離施設となったのは、地中海に面した港町マルセイユから約３０キロの距離にあるカリールルエの村外れの海辺にある保養施設。隔離対象者は、マスクさえしていればそこで自由に過ごすことができる。
　隔離生活最初の朝を迎えた１日、早起きして日の出を楽しむ人もいれば、温暖な気候の屋外で座って読書したり、施設内を見て回ったりする人たちもいた。
　この施設に来ている赤十字の幹部マルク・ジルトマン氏は、「使われていない兵舎を使えば簡単だった」と言う。だがフランス当局は隔離対象者をできる限り快適に過ごさせることを選択した。
　ティーンエージャーにはバレーボールとコート、幼児には図工教室、大人にはコーヒーを飲みながらくつろぐスペースが用意され、病院や診療所というよりもリゾートといった様相だ。
　これまでのところ、この施設で新型コロナウイルスに感染している兆候を示した人は一人もいない。

■コンシェルジュサービスも
　医師と看護師、心理学者ら約２０人で構成される医療チームが隔離対象者のケアを担当。この他、赤十字のボランティア３０人とフランスの憲兵が物資の補給などで支援する。
　隔離対象者たちは１日、急な本国帰還により生じた差し迫った難題の解決に取り掛かった。難題とは、洗濯はどうするのか、中国元の両替はどうするのか、たばこをどうやって入手するのかといったものだ。既にコンシェルジュサービスの提供が始まり、隔離対象者のニーズに応えている。
　しかしいずれにせよ、彼らがいるのは海辺の村カリールルエから３キロ以上離れた入り江にある松林の中にある保養施設だ。
　中国から帰国した男子学生の両親が洗濯済みの衣類が入った旅行かばんを届けに来たが、中に立ち入ることはできず、出入り口で憲兵に渡さなければならなかった。
　しかし、父親は息子がフランス国内で世話されていることに安心したようだ。施設前に集まった報道陣に対し、「彼ら全員がとても快適な環境で過ごせて安心していると思う」と語った。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Twice a day they will have their temperature taken and nurses will check them for coronavirus symptoms: other than that, their main concern will be how to keep their phone charged and get their laundry done.
The 179 evacuees -- mostly made up of French nationals and their Chinese spouses -- flown back from China were settling into their new life in quarantine on Saturday. A holiday resort in the southeast of France that will be their home for the next two weeks.
These special guests will have the run of their seaside base in Carry-le-Rouet, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the Mediterranean port city of Marseille -- so long as they wear a mask.
On Saturday, their first morning there, some were up to take in the sunrise, others sat outside in the mild weather reading while others explored inside the hotel complex.
There are worse places, said Marc Ziltman with a smile, as children's shouts echoed across the facility.
The easy solution would have been a disused barracks, Zilman, the senior Red Cross official on site, pointed out. Instead, the French authorities opted to make the evacuees stay as comfortable as possible.
The site needs to be as agreeable as possible because people are going to pass 14 days there, he told AFP.
- Gendarme patrols -
There is volleyball for the teenagers, art classes for the toddlers and a space for the grown-ups to relax over a coffee, making it more holiday resort than hospital or clinic.
For the moment, no one here has shown any symptoms that could indicate they have caught the new coronavirus. Two possible cases identified as the evacuees came off their plane on Friday tested negative at La Timone hospital in Marseille.
The medical team looking after the evacuees is about 20 strong, including doctors, nurses and psychologists. Backing them are are soldiers from France's civil security units and 30 Red Cross volunteers, who mainly take care of the logistics of their stay.
On their first day back on Saturday, the new arrivals got down to solving the immediate challenges raised by their rather hasty repatriation: how to do their laundry, change their Chinese currency and get hold of cigarettes.
A concierge service was already up and running to attend to their needs.
Yesterday, they were tired, which is quite normal, said Zyltman. They had their evening meal and went quietly to bed. Now, life is back on course and it's going rather well, he added.
As the special guests got their bearings, members of France's paramilitary gendarme force patrolled the site, keeping careful guard at the resort's only access point.
But they are in any case at a fairly isolated site, in the middle of a pine forest, in a cove more than 3 kilometres from the seaside village of Carry-le-Rouet itself.
The parents of a student flown back from China were already outside, having come to deliver him a travel bag with clean clothes. They had to leave it with the gendarmes at the entrance.
But the father seemed reassured that their son was being looked after in France.
Their son had described the atmosphere there as fairly convivial, he said.
I think they are all relieved to be there, in very good conditions, he told the journalists gathered outside.
