Tunisia-Jalila Ben Khelil: Tunisia is not immune to a new COVID wave

Speaking to RTCI, spokesperson for the scientific committee for the fight against the coronavirus Jalila Ben Khelil stressed that the epidemiological situation in Tunisia remains almost stable because all the indicators including the incidence percentage and the number of deaths are on the drop.

 

Vigilance remains, all the same, added the doctor, emphasising that we are far from safe from a new wave as long as the virus proceeds to circulate in the world. Likewise, the source of infection recently found in a French school in Sousse is caused by students returning from France where they spent a few days of vacation, she said.

 

According to Ben khelil, if we look at what is occurring in Europe, the higher the vaccination rate, the less severe cases are registered. Consequently, we must find other ways to reach people resistant to vaccination because the open days no longer give the results as effective as the first times.

To this end, she estimated that it would be advisable to organize vaccination stands in any place where there would be an agglomeration of people, in particular the weekly markets. While recognising that the colossal work carried out at the borders, Jalila Ben Khelil felt that the authorities must remain vigilant and demand a PCR test for all entrants to Tunisia.
