News
Increase in number of Covid-19 confirmed cases in DRC
• Over the past three days, the number of cases confirmed at Covid-19 has dropped from 267 to 327, a difference of 60;
• This increase is justified by the strengthening of epidemiological surveillance across the country and also surveillance in the commune of Gombe following confinement;
• It results in the high number of tests at the laboratory level which currently exceeds 200 daily samples;
• In fact, the commune of Gombe has been under confinement since April 06, 2020. In total, the commune of Gombe has 77 cases confirmed until April 16, 2020, including 24 cases recorded during confinement with an accumulation of contacts taken from 514 and 473 contacts followed.
As a reminder, the recommendations of the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo against Covid-19 *:
For access to Congolese territory:
1. Suspension, until further notice, from March 20, 2020, of all flights from countries at risk and transit countries. Only airplanes and cargo ships and other means of freight transport will be authorized to enter the national territory and their personnel subject to controls;
2. Postponement of trips to the Democratic Republic of Congo of all passengers residing in countries at risk until further notice;
3. Requirement for all passengers, upon arrival at national borders, to complete an information sheet and to submit, without exception, to the obligation to wash their hands and take the temperature;
4. Imposition of a quarantine of 14 days maximum on any person suspected at the end of the temperature test, for a thorough examination and if necessary to intern, in the hospitals provided for this purpose, the people who will be tested positive;
5. Provision of all maritime, river, lake and land entry points in the national territory with the same surveillance device to strengthen the control of passengers from abroad;
6. Systematically subjecting people leaving Kinshasa to the various provinces of the DRC to control measures in order to avoid the spread of this pandemic on the rest of our country.
For gatherings of people:
1. Prohibition of all gatherings, meetings, celebrations, of more than 20 people in public places outside the family home;
