Vélingara: Première victime de la fièvre de la vallée du Rift signalée

According to SITREP bulletin no. 39 from the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, published on Saturday, November 15, the Vélingara health district has officially recorded its first human case of Rift Valley Fever (RVF).

This confirmed information now places the region in an epidemic situation, in accordance with the health standards in force.

This first case detected in a human comes in a context where nine animal cases have already been reported in the same department of the Kolda region.

This was enough for the region's health authorities to call on the population to be vigilant by strictly adhering to the various preventative measures, namely avoiding any contact with sick or dead animals.

strengthen hygiene in concessions, use protective equipment when handling animal products and go to health facilities quickly in case of sudden fever or suspicious symptoms.

Faced with this worrying situation, health services assure that teams are already mobilized on the ground to contain the epidemic. Furthermore, the public is urged to cooperate more closely with health services to better combat the disease.
