Coronavirus in Congo-Brazza: the long awaited deconfinement plan finally here
05/16.2020,

Towards a return to normal life in Congo-Brazzaville. Prime Minister Cl?ment Mouamba announced this Saturday, May 16, 2020 a plan for progressive deconfinement and by stages, which should enter into force on Monday, May 18.
While many Congolese were waiting for him in the evening, it was finally in the middle of the day that Cl?ment Mouamba unveiled the plan for progressive deconfinement and in response to it announced some 48 hours ago by the National Coordination for the Management of the Pandemic coronavirus.
In his address, the Prime Minister said that this deconfinement should take place taking into account the situation in two areas. Zone 1 is made up of Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, the two main cities which alone account for almost 90% of the cases of covid-19 recorded in the country.
In this area, we should for example witness a resumption of public transport, with the obligation to wear a mask for crews and passengers. The opening days of state markets have been reduced from three to five. Travel between Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire is currently on hold, unless necessary.
Zone 2, for its part, concerns localities little or not at all affected by the coronavirus. Here, total containment has been lifted. The curfew, however, remains in effect throughout the territory.
Announcing a major undertaking to raise awareness of barrier gestures through the involvement of the “living forces of the Nation” (NGOs, religious, etc.), Mr. Mouamba also indicated that the government reserves the right to reinforce measures in the event of aggravation of the epidemiological situation.
This should sound like a Grail message for the 5 million Congolese, whose ahans were already heard on social networks and traditional media to express their fed up with the confinement that was starting to starve them.
The epidemiological situation in this Central African country, very rich in natural resources, reports 412 cases including 110 cures and 15 deaths. Before containment and other emergency measures declared on March 28, the Congo had nearly 19 cases of covid-19 and zero deaths.
