“The national plan for monitoring and responding to the corona virus remains perfectly suited to this situation, with its four axes, comprising epidemiological and medical monitoring actions, early detection and epidemiological and virological investigation, medical care and coordination between all stakeholders, “said the Ministry of Health in a statement. “Citizens do not have to take any additional measures, other than general hygiene rules, necessary for the prevention of airborne viruses, namely: frequent washing of hands, covering of the mouth and nose during coughing or sneezing efforts, the avoidance of close contact with patients suffering from respiratory symptoms “, continues the same source.
“No case of disease with the new coronavirus has so far been recorded in our country,” added the ministry, adding that three cases of suspicion have been identified by the national epidemiological watch system but the virological analyzes have been negative for the new coronavirus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a public health emergency of international concern, linked to the new coronavirus 2019-nCov. This framework enables WHO to recommend specific and temporary measures, with the possibility of support to Member States, in order to limit the spread of the epidemic.
