According to the assessment collected from the Ministry of Public Health, seven suspected cases, that is to say with similar symptoms of the Coronavirus called nCovide 19, were screened negative, at the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Anosiala. “ Since the alert of the viral disease, the Pasteur Institute of Madagascar (IPM) has taken samples from seven sick people, Chinese and Malagasy, in the CHU of Anosiala. All results were negative, after analysis of the IPM. These people are taken care of and receive appropriate treatment during their 14-day quarantine in hospital, ”according to our source with the Ministry of Public Health.

    The ministry is still trying to reassure that there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus on the entire Big Island.

    Our source also said that another person from abroad on Wednesday (whose gender, nationality and country of origin were not disclosed), and presenting symptoms similar to those of Coronavirus, is in awaiting the result of its analysis. But even if this result would be negative, this person is already under confinement in Anosiala for 14 days, considered as the incubation period of the virus.

    Released people

    The ministry said four people who had been quarantined in Anosiala were able to join their families and resume their activities on Wednesday.

    “ These people are all in good health and their condition requires no fear. Nine other people are still under observation at the hospital and remain in quarantine during the incubation, "according to the ministry.

    Thirty-one (31) people who arrived from China on January 29, that is to say before the cancellation of flights between the two countries and scattered throughout Madagascar, were all released on February 11. “ Before the closing of our borders with China, the ministry already recorded the information concerning all the people who arrived from China (name, first name, place of destination and contact details). These 31 people were isolated with their families or at the hotel, but health workers continuously monitored their health. They were forced to wear masks to avoid contamination. After this confinement, we released them because they are all in good health and they were able to take off their masks, ”according to our source with the ministry.

    According to the latest assessment, this epidemic, now considered a health alert epidemic of global scope according to the World Health Organization (WHO), has caused 1,367 deaths and has approximately 60,000 patients in China.

Only an infected person is in respiratory distress, but his condition is stable.
        Figures validated by the Institut Pasteur and the WHO

        Many people question the reliability of the figures released in the CCO-Covid-19 release. The Malagasy state and its Minister of Culture and Communication have however assured that these data have been validated by the Institut Pasteur, the WHO and the Malagasy medical profession. According to the Malagasy Minister of Communication, Lalatiana Andriatongarivo, Madagascar risks finding itself without any technical and financial partner in the event of false and incomplete information.

                Covid-19: 50 proven cases and 7 suspected in Madagascar
                INFO.RE - created on 1st April 2020 at 5.08pm - updated on 1st April 2020 at 5.08pm - The editorial staff

                According to the assessment of the Ministry of Communication and Culture of Madagascar, Tuesday, March 31 in the evening, eleven new cases of coronavirus were identified after screening tests. Seven of them are awaiting confirmation from the Institut Pasteur.

                Faced with the coronavirus pandemic which now affects Madagascar, President Andry Rajoelina announced the adoption of a strategy consisting in subjecting all subjects at risk - people coming from abroad between March 11 and 19 - to screening. The goal is to identify those with the virus so that they can be treated quickly. This will prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the country.

                A massive screening operation was then put in place after the fourteen days of compulsory isolation, which corresponds to the incubation period. The rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) detected seven new cases on Tuesday, according to the communication ministry, confirming the information of the head of state.

                The seven cases must, however, be confirmed by the Institut Pasteur, which declared four other people infected with coronary artery disease. To date, the Big Island has therefore recorded fifty confirmed cases of Covid-19 and seven suspected cases, specifies the newspaper L’Express de Madagascar. The rapid diagnostic tests should make it possible to speed up the rate of screening in order to be able to control the situation in the country.

                              Friday April 10 | Fano Rasolo

                              The spokesperson for the Covid-19 Operational Command Center (CCO-Covid-19), Professor Hanta Marie Danielle Vololontiana announced yesterday that among the hundreds of samples analyzed by the Pasteur Institute of Madagascar ( IPM) between Wednesday and Thursday at noon, there were no positive cases of Coronavirus registered.

We have previously carried out diagnostics on all people from countries where the pandemic has spread and suspected of carrying the virus. Because the earlier the disease is detected, the higher the cure rate. Patients who test positive receive treatment before they develop serious forms that can lead to complications. That is why there are many asymptomatic patients registered, "said Professor Duval.
