Despite a battery of preventive measures announced in recent weeks, Gabon has not escaped the coronavirus pandemic. The government announced on Thursday that it had registered a positive test case for Covid-19. This is a 27 year old Gabonese who arrived in the country on March 8 from Bordeaux, France, where he stayed for some time, says Edgar Anicet Mboumbou Miyakou.
The Minister of Communication also specifies that the state of health of the person concerned is gradually improving.
In his report made Wednesday to the political parties he had invited to an information meeting, the Prime Minister admitted that 30 cases had been judged suspicious in recent days, among the 21,600 passengers flashed at the airport and the 206 people flashed at the pot port of Owendo. But Julien Nkoghe Bekale also assured that, until March 11, following verifications made by experts, notably at CIRMF, none of these suspect cases had been tested positive for Covid-19.
