The Malagasy Head of State has announced the restoration of the state of health emergency following the second wave of the Coronavirus. In a speech broadcast on the national channel, Andry Rajoelina recalled the presence of the South African variant among the tested cases.
Before the speech of the Malagasy Head of State, several sources alerted the opinion on the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in the island’s hospitals. On 20 March, the regions of Mahagana and Nosy-Be, in the north-west, were isolated following the rise in cases of the pandemic. Faced with this increase in cases, Antananarivo announced its recourse to the vaccine in order to limit the circulation of the pandemic. « Following a consultation with members of the National Academy of Medicine, Madagascar has identified two vaccines that meet the required criteria and will join the programme, » said the Head of State.
As a reminder, at the beginning of the pandemic, Madagascar stood out in the apology of traditional medicine in the fight against the pandemic. The Head of State, Andry Rajoelina, even presented Covid-Organics, a remedy based on artemisia, « with preventive and curative virtues against Covid-19 ».
