PARIS - In the Brittany village of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, resentment is simmering at the city-dwellers who this week fled their Parisian pads for their seaside bolt-holes and who, in the minds of locals, may have brought the coronavirus with them.
As in Italy, where earlier in March people from the wealthy Lombardy region headed south to beat a quarantine in the north, the exodus has raised fears in provincial France that the spread of the outbreak will accelerate in areas hitherto not exposed. It is relatively common for city dwellers in France to own a house in the country, and the practice has helped countless rural villages survive. The 900-strong population of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer grows ten-fold in the summer.
But some doctors in provincial towns and cities say they now fear a wave of infections that will place an already-strained healthcare system under severe stress - an sentiment echoed in villages.Locals had been particularly vexed by the sight of their city neighbors jogging in groups along the beaches, violating the president’s orders to exercise alone to minimize the risk of transmission.
