The director of the national observatory for new and emerging diseases (ONMNE) of Tunisia, Nissaf Ben Alaya reiterated the importance of observing preventive measures, in particular in tea rooms, fast food areas and kindergartens. The government has allowed day care centers and kindergartens to reopen with a capacity of 50% since May 26. Wearing masks and social distancing should be followed strictly. Tea rooms are authorized to resume their activities for delivery or takeout orders only and consumption on site is prohibited. Clientele should not spend more than five minutes in the premises of tea rooms to avoid physical contact with staff and other customers.
Tunisia has succeeded in abating the spread of the pandemic in a significant manner. However, Nissaf Ben Alaya cautioned that the relaxations in the lockdown should not be a permission to indulge in things which citizens used to do prior to the pandemic. People should exercise caution in public places and observe social distancing, she exhorted. The schools and universities will be opened and the students and staff would be subjected to rapid tests, which was already on.
The pandemic burden on Tunisia is relatively less. There are 1051 confirmed cases (as on 25May 2020) out of a total of 48,476 samples. Of this, 919 people have recovered and three are currently hospitalized. The number of deaths is 48.
