“No one can foretell when the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic will be reached in Tunisia,” Director of the National Observatory of New and Emerging Diseases Nissaf Ben Alaya declared in a statement to the TAP agency.
Ben Alaya pointed out that the decline in confirmed cases of infection with the new coronavirus reported in recent days is the result of the implementation of the general lockdown measures in Tunisia, expecting, however, that this number could increase in the next two weeks if citizens remain to neglect the lockdown measures.
According to her, the most challenging task is to identify healthy carriers who are asymptomatic and may be contaminants.
she emphasised the significance of complying with the isolation measures and health recommendations to evade contracting the virus, considering, however, that so far Tunisia has managed to control the infection curve.
Nissaf Ben Alaya added that patients with COVID-19 are put under permanent medical surveillance but the virus can linger in the body for up to three weeks.
