Coronavirus in Algeria: Two new suspected cases in Boufarik
Djamila Kourta
March 02, 2020 at 10 h 00 min


Two new cases of coronavirus contamination are strongly suspected in Boufarik, according to sources from the Institut Pasteur in Algeria.

They are a 23-year-old girl and her mother, and they have been in solitary confinement since last Friday at the EHS in Boufarik, in the service of infectious diseases.

The two were reportedly contaminated by a relative, a man from France, who visited them last week. During his stay in Algeria, this parent would have presented symptoms of a flu and being chronically ill, he preferred to return to France where he is currently hospitalized at the Salp?tri?re hospital, in Paris, after having tested positive at Covid- 19.

It was after this that the two women went to the hospital for a consultation, where samples were taken, although they were asymptomatic (without symptoms).

Faced with the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus in Europe and particularly in Italy and in France, Algeria is already adopting preventive measures dictated in the recommendations of the WHO, particularly that which places the risk of spread of this new virus to "a very high level".

Moreover, the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, gave firm instructions during a meeting of the High Security Council to maintain a high level of vigilance and an active mobilization of all the structures concerned to face up to any eventuality, following a presentation by the Prime Minister making an inventory on the virus in question, according to a press release from the Presidency of the Republic.

These instructions, which urge us to double our vigilance in the face of this epidemic, imply that no one is immune and that the appearance of new cases and foci of contamination cannot be ruled out. Yesterday, the Minister of Health, Population and Hospital Reform, Abderrahmane Benbouzid, went to the viral diseases department of the Specialized Hospital Establishment (EHS) for infectious diseases El Hadi Flici (ex-El Kettar) .

The Minister visited the various departments prepared to receive possible people affected by Covid-19. He said "all measures have been taken to deal with any new outbreaks" of the disease.

As he indicated that firm instructions were given to the various hospitals to acquire the necessary equipment, in particular the masks (half-mask filtering shell and the surgical masks with elastic), the overalls, the glasses, the gels and the sheets disposable, while reassuring that all the assessments of subjects who had contact with the Italian national suffering from coronavirus "turned out to be negative".

Algeria had raised its alert level and a global system has been in place since January to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic, which affects several countries, especially those in the Mediterranean basin, said the Minister of health. A toll-free number (3030), managed by doctors, has been made available to citizens as part of the prevention plan.

For its part, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has adopted preventive measures to ensure distance learning "in the event of the emergence of new cases of coronavirus in Algeria," reported the APS yesterday. "These measures will be operational from March 15," according to the ministry.

And to point out that the instruction relates to "the development of a platform guaranteeing the distance courses for a duration of at least one month". "The exceptional situation that the world is experiencing following a possible spread of the global epidemic compels (the ministry) to take an educational initiative by resorting to preventive measures guaranteeing the continuity of teaching", indicates the note addressed to presidents on Saturday regional conferences of universities and directors of university establishments, according to the same source.

To this end, the Minister called on the directors of university establishments and the presidents of scientific councils to raise awareness and mobilize their teaching colleagues to "adhere to this educational operation", stressing that the first concerned, namely "students, must adapt to this approach ”. This initiative consists of the online publication of searchable course content, covering a period of at least one month of teaching, on the establishment's website or in any other medium.

The same is true for tutorials "which will be accompanied by brief corrections". As it will be made available to students, following the same method, practical work that fits with this mode of teaching, adds the ministerial instruction.
