'''17 January 2021:''' Contamination seems to increase after the end of the year holidays and may be a result of loosening the respect of barrier gestures, physical distancing and compulsory mask wearing. During the week of January 2 to 8, 5 deaths and 234 new coronavirus cases were reported, compared to 1 death and 53 new cases the week before from December 28 to January 1. The reported positive cases are located in Antananarivo (93) and following regions: Boeny (48), Matsiatra Ambony (25), Analanjirofo (16), Amoron'i Mania (16), Vatovavy Fitovinany (11), Menabe (11), DIANA (2), Atsimo Andrefana (2), Vakinankaratra (9).
The Ministry of Public Health has announced the reopening of the Covid-19 treatment centre in Andohatapenaka. People showing smptoms and possible contact cases can perform a PCR there.
According to Pr Jean Louis Rakotovao, Minister of Public Health, the spread of the Covid-19 virus is still under control. He did not discuss the issues of vaccination against Covid-19. The authorities have already excluded the use of these vaccines on Malagasy soil and prefer to rely on Covid-Organics (CVO).
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the poorest countries will start receiving their first doses of vaccines between the end of January and mid-February as part of the international Covax program. This program aims to provide enough doses to immunise 20% of the population in each of the participating countries by the end of the year. For the moment, Madagascar has not requested to benefit from the Covax facility.
In Antananarivo, the police counted 1,290 people punished over the past two days for not wearing a mask. The latter were called to order and subjected to community service, namely the cleaning of roads and public gardens.
