The provincial minister of health in Ituri is considering the confinement of the city of Bunia, the epicenter of the Coronavirus pandemic in the province of Ituri, soon.
With 58 confirmed positive cases including 2 deaths and more than 500 contact cases listed, the capital of the province is the most affected by the disease, followed by the territories of Mahagi and Aru.
“In the town of Bunia there are 18 direct contact cases called suspected cases and this shows that the situation is not good. There is a risk of confining the city for 3 or 4 days to allow the health teams to contain the disease ”said Doctor Patrick Karamura.
These 18 people suspected of contamination are fleeing response teams and constitute a real public threat, said the minister.
“These people come out in the morning and return home at night to flee the response team. They had to be available to answer our questions so that we could monitor them, ”explains Patrick Karamura.
He calls on the population of Bunia to prepare accordingly because confinement will intervene shortly.
"The people who say they live at the daily rate (day to day), they are now learning to save a little money," he concluded.
