– adults aged 18 to 60 identified as being at risk of a severe form of Covid-19;
– pregnant women, from the 1st trimester of pregnancy;
– to living people in the entourage or in regular contact with vulnerable or immunocompromised people.
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
At the same time, it is essential to keep the right reflexes:
– focus on outdoor activities

– wear the mask in closed places with a high concentration of the population and in transport
