Guadeloupe hospital says emergency rooms are saturated as Covid cases rise
Issued on:
France's government on Tuesday warned of an 'extremely serious' Covid-19 crisis in the country's overseas territories, especially in the Caribbean, saying that infection rates had climbed to levels unprecedented on the mainland. Martinique tightened a lockdown and told tourists to leave while similar measures were also expected on the nearby French overseas territory of Guadeloupe, a huge blow to the Caribbean islands at the height of the summer season.
