In an interview with Al-Maghreb newspaper, the Minister of Health Faouzi Mehdi admitted that the epidemiological situation is serious in Tunisia.
Referring to the new measures to be taken to limit the spread of the virus, Mehdi let it be known that the scientific commission to fight against the pandemic has suggested decreeing general containment every weekend. A statement made before the press conference to be held in the morning this Saturday, January 23, 2021.
“General containment in its classic definition is no longer a solution,” he said, saying the increase in the number of deaths is due to the lack of enforcement of barrier measures.
In any case, the Ministry of Health will hold a press conference this Saturday, January 23 to announce new measures against the coronavirus. The member of the scientific commission to fight against the coronavirus Anis Glouz announced this Friday, January 22, that the government is preparing to toughen these measures to break the chains of contamination.
Measures which should therefore be toughened from Monday, if Faouzi Mehdi and Anis Glouz are to be believed.
