Urgent: suspected Coronavirus case reported to Kankan

A suspected case of Coronavirus has just been reported to Kankan. The announcement was made on Monday, March 30, 2020, by the regional health inspector during a meeting organized in the premises of the region's governorate, reports the correspondent of Guineematin.com in the prefecture.

The suspect is an expatriate of Belgian nationality, 64 years old. He arrived in Conakry on March 14, 2020 and went to Kankan on March 17. He is a technician recruited by Milo FC of Kankan, a football club playing in the Guinean second division. He began to experience symptoms similar to Covid-19 since March 26. But, it was only yesterday, Sunday March 29, that he presented himself at the Kankan epidemiological treatment center. He was immediately transferred to Conakry for screening.

It should be recalled that Guinea today has 22 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and more than 1000 contacts, some of which refuse to be followed up by the National Health Security Agency. The risk of spreading the disease across the country therefore remains very high.
