    Chad-Coronavirus: the message of the Head of State to the Nation

    Posted on 24.03.2020 at 5:24 pm by journaldutchad.com

    Idriss Deby, President of the Republic of Chad.

    The Republic of Chad registers three cases of coronavirus, face pandemic which is gaining in the world, the Head of State addressed to the Chadians. The entirety of his speech on journaldutchad.com.
    - Chadians, Chadians;
    - My dear compatriots

    For the past few months, the entire planet has been facing a serious health crisis. New cases of coronavirus contamination are recorded every day around the world.

    Chad, previously spared, thanks to the measures taken upstream, recorded on this date, three cases of infection with Covid-19.

    I know that this rapidly spreading disease worries us all. As you know, coronavirus is a dangerous disease that causes an acute respiratory attack that can lead to death if it is not properly treated.

    This is why, we all must be serious and responsible for a rapid and effective control of this scourge.

    In this dynamic of mobilization for prevention and response, the Health Watch and Security Committee works hard and in synergy with the medical teams in the field and the partners.

    A contingency plan and the fight against the coronavirus up to CFAF 15 billion has been developed thanks to the technical support of our partners. It will be financed by our own resources and the contribution of international solidarity. To this end, I have set up a special fund for the fight against the coronavirus.

    As you already know, a number of necessary measures, such as closing land borders and suspending air links with the exception of freighters, have been taken to prevent the incursion of covid19 into our country.

    After the first proven case, we decided to close all public and private schools and universities, places of worship, bars, restaurants and all places likely to bring together a good number of people and promote the spread of the virus.

    If the circumstances require it, we will have to take other more rigorous measures tending to the total containment.

    My dear compatriots,

    I know that in addition to the health uncertainty that haunts us, we face another equally troubling situation. These are the economic and financial impacts that could change the course of our daily lives.

    Many economic operators, owners of restaurants and owners of bars and other businesses suffer incalculable damage following the economic downturn in their activities.

    I would, however, deplore the behavior of some crooked traders who engage in an unacceptable practice by illegally raising the prices of basic foodstuffs.
    I firmly instruct the competent services in order to track down and bring to justice all the traders moved by the lure of easy gain.
    Price surveillance operations must be intensified throughout the national territory to put an end to this practice which does not honor the private sector.
    My dear compatriots,

    While paying close attention to the economic repercussions of the pandemic, the Government is deeply concerned about the closure of educational establishments.

    We fully measure the effects of a more or less long period of inactivity on the school calendar and the consolidation of learning.


    This is why the ministries concerned are instructed to reflect and to propose a realistic and suitable scenario to allow our children to complete their academic year in good conditions when the situation is restored.
    Chadians, Chadians;

    Faithful to their oath and their vocation, the doctors, nurses, paramedics and rescuers of the Chad Red Cross, in short the entire medical profession, are involved daily in order to ensure the health security of all.

    I salute this eminently patriotic sacrifice which deserves the recognition of the whole nation. We must all, in this regard, live up to the commitment of all of our worthy health actors by applying the various measures recommended.

    I insist on the usual rules of hygiene, namely hand washing which is a simple but extremely precious gesture for the prevention of the disease.

    Likewise, we should avoid shaking hands when greeting each other and exposing our brothers and sisters to our sneezing. We must always maintain a certain safety distance in our interpersonal exchanges.

    Each of us must be a bulwark against this virus. And it is obviously an absolute imperative which calls for individual and collective responsibility.

    On this subject, I deplore the marked carelessness and manifest lack of civility that some people are currently showing.

    We must all be strongly involved in popularizing awareness messages for the long-awaited change in behavior.

    I urge you to translate the protection and prevention messages into our different national languages ​​to reach a large audience.

    This awareness and communication approach is extremely important in the current phase of the fight, but it must be done with full responsibility.

    Unfortunately, we note that social networks, instead of disseminating information from good sources, authentic and verified, are devoted to misinformation and manipulation, thus sowing doubt, panic and psychosis.

    I caution everyone who engages in this criminal practice.

    Chadians, Chadians;
    My dear compatriots

    In the face of adversity, we must be vigilant, disciplined, united and united.

    I am convinced that the Chadian people who have gone through so much hardship will undoubtedly be able to be strong in the face of the pandemic.

    God bless Chad.

    Long live the Republic.

        French.china.org.cn | Updated on 02-04-2020


        In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for a renewable two-week period has been implemented since Thursday in N'Djam?na, the Chadian capital, as well as in four southern provinces of the country, according to a Presidential decree published that same day.

        In addition to the capital, it concerns the provinces of Logone Occidental, Logone Oriental, Mayo-Kebbi Est and Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, all bordering neighboring Cameroon, which has more than 200 confirmed cases of infection with the new coronavirus.

        To date, Chad has had seven cases of COVID-19, the last of which is a Chadian who stayed in Cameroon before returning on March 20 to N'Djamena.

        As a reminder, the first case reported in Chad was a Moroccan from Cameroon. Currently, hundreds of Chadian students, returning from Cameroon, are placed in confinement at the border post of Kout?r? in the province of Logone Occidental.

        Faced with the pandemic, the Chadian government has decided to close land borders and suspend air links, with the exception of cargo ships. Intra-urban and inter-city transport have also been suspended, as have schools and non-food businesses.

        In a speech to the nation on March 24, President Idriss D?by Itno did not rule out placing his country in total containment if the pandemic were to worsen.

A total of 2,070 people are out of quarantine after a 14-day follow-up and 1,474 people currently under quarantine.

                              The chain of transmission of the first 8 cases is completely broken because all the contacts linked to these cases are out of their quarantine after a 14-day medical follow-up. For the others the majority of their contact almost ended their quarantine. In the case of Ab?ch?, 227 direct and indirect contact persons have finished their quarantine and there are 33 contacts that are being followed up (80% of the chain is almost broken).

                              The global pandemic situation on April 19, 2020 is 2,343. 293 confirmed cases including 602,793 cured and 161,330 deaths (a fatality rate of 6.88%).

                              The first case of Covid-19 in Africa appeared in February 2020 in Egypt. And currently, a total of 52 out of 54 African countries are affected by this epidemic.

                              For the cases of contamination among the staff of the mobile laboratory and the HGRN laboratory, we deplore this situation which affected our staff within the laboratory unit. Although staff are protected, through the use of personal protective equipment, compliance with infection protection and control measures is essential and biosecurity rules must be tightened to avoid possible contamination.

                              The ministry is in the process of assessing the risk of contamination, infection prevention and control (PCI) at the laboratory level. It should be noted that arrangements have been made to refurbish the mobile laboratory premises by partitioning and strengthening the cold chain to improve working conditions.

                              In addition, the Ministry of Public Health reassures national and international opinion that no member of the Government has been affected by COVID-19, nor confined as reported on social networks.

                              It should be noted that the Ministry of Public Health has developed with its partners a training plan aimed at strengthening the capacities of laboratory personnel, agents dedicated to epidemiological surveillance and case management, communicators and agents responsible for hygiene and sanitation (Wash).

                              A total of 86 laboratory workers have been trained in sample collection, packaging and transport techniques, 275 workers have received training in care, including 25 doctors, 311 health workers trained in surveillance, training in hygiene and Wash activities were carried out for 50 health workers and 216 intermediaries trained in communication for the city of N'Djamena. As of this Monday, we will begin cascading training for 226 clinicians (district chief physicians, hospital chief physicians and treating physicians ...) who in turn will strengthen the skills of their colleagues in the field.

                              Thanks to the determination of all those involved under the enlightened leadership of the Head of State, President of the Republic, Head of Government that the situation in our country is under control.

                              The various bodies created are hard at work to accomplish their tasks.

                              "I would like to express my gratitude to all the agents who work day and night to save lives and counteract the disease with COVID-19. I welcome the exemplary collaboration of all partners and friendly countries in this fight. I would like to insist that the situation is still serious and therefore we must strictly respect the barrier measures decreed by the Government in order to protect ourselves, our families and our country. Quick recovery for the sick, "said the minister.

                              Thank you for your kind attention
