This page collates information from media and various sources on COVID-19 Coronavirus developments in Madagascar. The government broadcasts daily situation reports by radio at 1pm and televised reports at 8pm.
- 24 March 2020: People in Sambava appear to be more calm today than yesterday. French people having arrived on one of the last flights to Madagascar were located in Sambava, among them one man is placed under supervision in the local hospital but without reported symptoms. Madagascar National Parks have been closed from 23rd March until 5th April.
- 23 March 2020: Nine new cases of Coronavirus bringing the total number to 12 confirmed cases. State of Health Emergency is declared for 15 days, to be reevaluated as the situation evolves. Affected regions are Antananarivo and Tamatave. Stop of public transport and confinement of the people in these provinces is announced along with a curfew between 8pm and 5am. Transport to and from affected areas limited to health professionals and other essential personnel including press organisations. Transport of goods are exempt. Health controls placed outside the capital and around major cities of the country. Tracking of all passengers having arrived in Madagascar since 14th March begins. Reports of a Malagasy air passenger having arrived in Antalaha, initially on a flight from France to Tana among infected passengers, raise fears across the SAVA region. The person is in self-isolation but have not showed any symptoms. Offices, vanilla processing facilities and many shops in Sambava and Antalaha close. Banks, supermarkets and other essential services remain open with banks letting one customer in at the time.
- 21 March 2020: Three cases of Coronavirus infected passengers were detected arriving on three separate flights on 17th, 18th and 19th March from France, with one of the infected passing through Mauritius. These passengers are in treatment and all passengers on the same flights in quarantine. Schools around the country have been ordered to suspend lessons for 14 days.
- 20 March 2020: Madagascar closes its borders for incoming and outgoing passenger air travel. Hotels on Nosy Be close and many hotel workers lost their jobs, resulting in a wave of crime and security problems on the island which rely heavily on tourism. The situation is tense. The Tourism Minister announces at a meeting with hotel operators on Nosy Be that the travel ban will last for 90 days (previously reported in media 30 days).
