Since the introduction of the virus, nearly 3,400 tests have been carried out by the CHM laboratory and by a private laboratory in Mayotte. The virus is actively circulating throughout the territory, in all villages and in all environments.

ARS insists on the need to respect confinement, which is neither easy nor pleasant. But more than ever, it stands out – with respect for barrier measures – as the most effective protection against the spread of the virus.
It is the only solution to reduce the daily number of new cases every day in Mayotte. I have symptoms that remind me of COVID (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, loss of smell and taste): where can I get the test prescribed? Where can I get tested? Are you being followed by a liberal doctor? Contact him by phone describing your symptoms. Depending on the case, he will offer you a consultation (at his office or by teleconsultation) and issue you a prescription. Then you just have to go to the laboratory to have your sample taken.
To avoid infecting other people, do not go directly to the doctor’s office. You don’t know a doctor? Go to the nearest medical reference center (Mramadoudou, Kahani, Dzoumogné, Dzaoudzi, Urgences du CHM); a covid network has been set up there and you will be taken care of upon your arrival. Pending the outcome, you must limit contact with those around you as much as possible, wear a mask and isolate yourself at home.
