The prefecture of Macenta has just registered two confirmed cases of coronavirus. They are a couple whose husband had been receiving malaria treatment at home for a few days. Evacuated to Conakry, he will be tested positive for Covid-19 with his wife.
The information was confirmed by Dr Mamadou Diallo, the prefectural director of health for Macenta. He specifies the man in question is an employee of the Macenta hospital.
We sent the two suspected cases to Conakry and were told that the result is positive. It is a couple. The man presented with fever, he was screened. Initially, he received treatment for malaria, while bearing in mind that we are in an epidemiological context, '' says Dr Diallo.
This is why, he says, during his treatment, '' he was confined to home. At the end of treatment, the fever was found to persist. It was in this context that we advised him to go to Conakry to take the test. He went to Donka where he tested positive. His wife who also accompanied him was tested positive. ''
How did they get Macenta's disease ? The whole question is at this level. We are currently investigating. Because he has not moved, He works with us at the hospital. He has not traveled recently. We are investigating whether they have received people at home. If he was there, we would deepen the investigations around him. But in any case, we are in the process of listing the contacts and trying to find out how it was contaminated, '' said the prefectural health director at the RTG microphone.
Without revealing the patient's identity, Dr Mamadou Diallo indicates that `` it is someone who works at the prefectural hospital. With his colleagues, his friends and collaborators of services, we try to deepen the investigations to know his contacts, but also to go to his neighborhood, meet his neighbors and try to question them to know if in recent times, he has received a stranger or frequented other places ''.
