Commenting on the health situation, Chairman of the parliamentary health committee, Ayachi Zammel, emphasised that it had to be acknowledged that the situation is critical and that ICU units are almost saturated.

He highlighted the death percentage in the country, which has seen a sharp rise in recent days due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19.

Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, the MP indicated that the citizen no longer respects the health protocol, which has added to the deterioration of the situation.
