The decision was made Wednesday evening at a meeting chaired by President Embalo and Prime Minister Na Biam. The latter would appoint a high commissioner for the COES who would work under the supervision of the president of the country.

We are planning several measures and a working group will be set up to follow up on these measures, ”said Na Biam, on her Facebook page.

In order to limit the spread of the virus in the country, the authorities have taken several restrictive measures, including the closing of borders, markets, bars, restaurants, schools, places of worship, as well as the prohibition of gatherings and limiting the movement of people.

President of the Republic Umaro Sissoco Embalo has extended the state of emergency until May 26 and the wearing of masks is compulsory in public spaces and in transport.

To date, Guinea-Bissau has 1,109 cases of COVID-19, including 42 healings and six deaths.

"Five new cases were registered in Ecomib military personnel. The analyzes were made by a medical team from Senegal, but the data are added to those from Guinea-Bissau, because those military personnel are in the country," said the coordinator of the Emergency Operations Center (COES), Dion?sio Cumba.

According to the Guinean doctor, the National Public Health Laboratory did not carry out analyzes in the last 24 hours due to the lack of plaques, which must arrive on the plane that carries the body of the former Guinean President Serifo Nhamadjo, and which should arrive in Bissau today.

Guinean President Umaro Sissoco Embal? ordered in early March, after taking office, the cantonment of the interposing force of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecomib), which has been stationed in the country since 2012, following a coup of State.

The military force's mission ended at the end of March, but the closure of borders in the context of combating the covid-19 prevented it from leaving the country.

Regarding the most worrying cases, Dion?sio Cumba said that there is a covid-19 contamination registered in the Bafat? region.

"This is a 40-year-old woman who went to that area. The health team in the Bafat? area has been working since yesterday [Thursday], she has already collected five samples from people who were close to the woman, but there is a lot of resistance by the woman's family members, who refuse to collaborate ", he said.

In relation to Bissau, the number of people admitted to the Sim?o Mendes National Hospital was 18 people, 11 of whom were in need of oxygen.

At Cumura hospital, 21 people are hospitalized and there is a lack of oxygen.

Regarding people who are confined to hotels, the doctor said that an effort is being made to send people to their homes.

"There is still some difficulty in feeding, but today things are regularized," he said.

Dion?sio Cumba kept the number of recovered at 42 and fatalities at six.

As part of the fight against the pandemic, the Guinean President, Umaro Sissoco Embal?, decreed a state of emergency, until May 26, and the curfew between 20:00 and 06:00 in the country.

In addition to those measures, people can only move between 07:00 and 14:00 local time.

In Africa, there are 3,089 confirmed deaths, with more than 99,000 infected in 54 countries, according to the latest pandemic statistics on that continent.

Among African countries that have Portuguese as their official language, Guinea-Bissau leads in number of infections (1,114 cases and six deaths), followed by Equatorial Guinea (719 cases and seven dead), Cape Verde (362 cases and three deaths), S?o Tom? and Pr?ncipe (269 cases and 11 deaths), Mozambique (162 cases) and Angola (60 infected and three dead).

The Portuguese-speaking country most affected by the pandemic is Brazil, with more than 20,000 deaths and more than 310,500 infections.

Globally, according to a report by the AFP news agency, the covid-19 pandemic has already claimed almost 330,000 deaths and infected more than 5.1 million people in 196 countries and territories.

More than 1.9 million patients were considered cured.

Guinea-Bissau faces one of the worst Covid-19 crises in Africa
...

By Matteo Maillard Posted today at 1:00 p.m.

The voice is running out of steam. "Excuse me, I'm exhausted," said nurse Gim Manuel Intchala. I have been working more than twelve hours a day for weeks. My medical colleagues link services without counting. We receive thirty, forty, fifty patients a day and we no longer know where to put them ... it's hopeless. At Simao Mendes, the largest hospital in Guinea-Bissau, where he works, all the beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients. The saturation is such that the caregivers had to put up a tent outside to sort out the arrivals. In one month, the number of Covid-19 positive cases increased by 25. On April 30, there were only 54. On June 23: 1,556. "I'm afraid," said Gim.

Guinea-Bissau is today facing an unprecedented health crisis. "It is the fastest spreading epidemic we have seen in Africa," said Monica Negrete, head of mission for Doctors Without Borders (MSF). The humanitarian organization sounded the alarm in May in the face of this spectacular increase which is transforming this small country of 1.8 million inhabitants into the first focus of the virus on the continent, in proportion to its population. "The peculiarity of this crisis and that it first hit medical personnel who lacked the equipment and the adequate training to protect themselves against the epidemic," she continues. In the first weeks, dozens of infected doctors and nurses had to stop working. Some hospital departments and medical structures have closed their doors despite record crowds, forcing the government to requisition two hotels, Azalai and Malaika, to isolate the sick in the capital, Bissau.

"Now emergencies only cover Covid patients and leave out patients with other serious medical conditions," said Negrete. This contributes to increasing the number of indirect deaths from the coronavirus which will not be counted in the official figures. They struggle to keep up with the rapid spread of the virus, due to a lack of staff. As of June 16, the country had only sixteen deaths linked to the epidemic. A number "well below reality, says Monica Negrete. Many people, who could not be treated in time, died far from hospital structures. "

Two competing governments

With a health system already precarious before the crisis, the lack of equipment is glaring today. The tests are insufficient and "some patients wait up to three weeks before getting the results," said nurse Gim Manuel Intchala. We also cannot do a chest x-ray because our only device is broken. Of the nine patients received this morning, six are serious cases but only three are on artificial ventilation. The main hospital, located in Bissau, has only three respirators and there are ten for the whole country. In any case, they cannot all be used. "We're almost out of oxygen," says Intchala. We can only give them tea to relieve them. "
...
The Covid-19 crisis was ignored by political elites to the point that even Embalo’s Prime Minister Nuno Gomes Nabiam announced on April 29 that he had been infected with coronavirus, as did the Minister of the Interior , Botch? Cand?, State Secretary for Public Order, Mario Famb?, and State Secretary for Regional Integration, Monica Buaro da Costa.

Faced with the explosion of cases affecting up to the top of the State, President Embalo decided to dissolve the interministerial commission which had been created to manage the health crisis and to replace it, on June 5, by a high commission . At the helm, Dr. Magda Nely Robalo, Minister of the Opposition Government, an official of the World Health Organization (WHO) for twenty years, was chosen for her good knowledge in the management of epidemics and disasters.

Heavily faulty machine

On his new desk, the task seems immense. "I have to get precise data on the epidemic very quickly to understand the dynamics," says Magda Nely Robalo. Strategies must be reviewed, resources must be mobilized, and treatment centers should not be hotbeds of infection. We have had contamination of patients hospitalized for other pathologies because we have mismanaged the patient circuit. It is also necessary to assemble a team of confidence, to structure the line of order, to solve the problems of motivation and the payment of the subsidies. "

In addition to the caregivers, some mobile medical teams had to stop working because they were no longer paid since the election. It’s a heavily broken machine that Mrs. Robalo needs to restart before the peak of the epidemic expected around mid-July.

The most difficult remains: “Convince the population that the Covid-19 exists and make them adhere to preventive measures. As in many African countries, where families live in an informal economy on a day-to-day basis, strict containment will not be possible. Two out of three Bissau-Guineans live below the poverty line, a third of them in extreme poverty. Gim Manuel Intchala may say to himself that "we must remain united to win this war", he knows that it will "take a lot of lives". He pauses then adds, fateful: "When the peak arrives, not everyone can be saved. "
