CONTEXT

 

In Chad the number of cases has fallen throughout the country, as well as the virus mortality rate. Anyway, there are delays in the transmission of test results and difficulties in case management as well as at the borders. Work is being done to increase the diagnostic capacity of mobile laboratories and to decentralize exams. A decrease in the use of sexual and reproductive health services due to the fear of being contaminated and/or the absence/insufficiency of Personal Protective Equipment has been recorded. The air borders have been reopened. The shops are still closed and a curfew is still in place.
