Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of management of the COVID-19 epidemic in a French immigration detention center.

Design/methodology/approach: During containment in France because of COVID-19, the judicial authorities had to deal with the risk of contamination within immigration detention centers (IDC). In the Paris IDC, which can usually receive up to 240 individuals, measures have been taken to limit the risk of contamination by releasing individuals without prior judicial conviction and testing the others by a nasal swab.

Findings: The test was done for all the present individuals (48), except two who refused. Eight tests (17.4%) were positive and only one was symptomatic. Individuals testing positive for COVID-19 were transferred into COVID-centers specially created during this health crisis.

Originality/value: Management of the COVID-19 epidemic in this French IDC illustrates the necessity of good cooperation between judicial authorities and medical teams in charge of those centers and the difficulty of balancing public health actions with state security.

法国移民拘留中心对 COVID-19 流行病的管理。

目的：本文旨在概述法国移民拘留中心对 COVID-19 疫情的管理情况：在法国遏制 COVID-19 期间，司法当局必须应对移民拘留中心（IDC）内的污染风险。巴黎移民拘留中心通常可容纳 240 人，已采取措施限制污染风险，释放未经司法定罪的人员，并用鼻拭子检测其他人：除两人拒绝外，对所有在场人员（48 人）都进行了检测。其中 8 人（17.4%）检测结果呈阳性，只有 1 人有症状。COVID-19 检测呈阳性的患者被转移到了在此次健康危机中专门设立的 COVID 中心：法国 IDC 对 COVID-19 流行病的管理说明了司法当局与负责这些中心的医疗团队之间良好合作的必要性，以及在公共卫生行动与国家安全之间取得平衡的难度。
