LES CONTAMINES-MONTJOIE, France - Residents, a few wearing facemasks, lined up in a French Alpine village on Sunday to get tested for the new coronavirus as authorities sought to contain the spread after five Britons contracted the illness there.
More than 100 people were being tested, including families whose children went to school with a 9-year-old who was among the five. People made way for those suffering from colds or flu-like symptoms to be tested first.“We musn’t become paranoid,” said Emmanuelle Rieu, who said her child is a schoolmate of the infected British child.
The new cases in France were diagnosed on Saturday after a Briton who had traveled to Singapore on business was diagnosed with the virus on his return to Britain. Health officials found he had been to Les Contamines-Montjoie on his way home and had shared a chalet with fellow Britons.
