Transfers of COVID-19 patients

Context

To respond to the health crisis and the energising of the French health system, the government has been operating since March 18, 2020 patient transfers between hospitals. The aim of this scheme is to remove congestion among the institutions most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
