A COVID-19 screening centre at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
On 17 March, following the French government's ban on gatherings of more than 100 people (Decree of 13 March 2020), Viparis, together with other players in the events management industry, have made its venues available to the health authorities, specifically Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris Le Bourget and Paris Nord Villepinte.
After working with the appropriate authorities to identify tangible solutions that can be quickly deployed, Viparis announced that it will host a COVID-19 screening facility in Car Park 7 of the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles complex starting Thursday, 26 March. It will take the form of a drive-through screening facility, operated by Laboratoires Cerballiance, and is reserved for symptomatic healthcare professionals and individuals who are vulnerable or symptomatic and at risk. Samples will be taken by appointment only.

By appointment only, following a medical referral and in possession of a valid prescription.
“All of Viparis’s sites have been closed since 13 March. Our teams are now teleworking or working part-time. In solidarity with Paris’s healthcare system – and all healthcare professionals in the Greater Paris region – our venues, which usually host professional or events for the general public (trade shows, congresses, exhibitions, etc.) have been promptly placed at the disposal of the French authorities. Our Paris Expo Porte de Versailles complex is now the location of a drive-through COVID-19 screening facility, dedicated to screening symptomatic healthcare professionals and individuals who are vulnerable or symptomatic and at risk. Viparis is entirely at the disposal of the French medical authorities to provide services that may be of help during the current crisis. Let us all remain in the face of this unprecedented situation."
